Tiny Toronto house that could pass as a garden shed selling for $600K

The last time 4 Lucy Ave. hit the market, it was listed as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home — which already felt like a stretch for a house that clocks in at under 500 square feet.

Still, it sold for $430,000 in 2019, a solid $30K over asking.

Now it's back—this time with three bedrooms (somehow), the same one bathroom, and a new price tag of $599,888.

The living room. 

You might assume they added an extension. They didn't.

The kitchen. 

Maybe some sleek renovations? Nope.

The laundry. 

In fact, comparing the new listing photos to those from 2019, things look... worse.

A bedroom. 

The front door appears to be buckling, the roof is sagging, and inside, it's giving "dormitory-meets-doomsday-bunker" vibes.

Another bedroom. 

There are five beds crammed into the tiny house, which may even violate Toronto's occupancy bylaws (one person per nine square metres of habitable space, for those keeping track).

The basement that has been turned into a bedroom. 

And yet—this tiny, visibly neglected house is listed for nearly $600,000. Why?

The bathroom. 

Well, for starters, the market in this east-end pocket has jumped by about 34 per cent since 2019.

The backyard. 

Two, it's sitting on a decent-sized lot (22 by 100 feet). Three, it's detached. 

Another bedroom. 

And last, it's in an "up-and-coming" area — which usually translates to "expect gentrification any minute now."

There's an actual garden shed in the backyard. 

So, as wild as that price sounds for what's essentially a glorified garden shed with plumbing, it's technically not a bad deal.

The back of the house. 

Detached homes nearby — ones that don't look like a strong wind could take them out — are selling for $1.5 million or more.

Ah, Toronto real estate: come for the heartbreak, stay for the audacity.
