This $2 million home is like a Bali retreat in the heart of Toronto

In a Toronto neighbourhood where homes typically sell for nearly $7 million, the asking price of a newly-listed house at 329 Glen Rd. sure feels like a bargain, because everything is relative.

Listed at $1,979,000, this Rosedale property is far below the usual asking price—but there's a reason.

For starters, there's only one bedroom, which raises eyebrows for a house that's on a 30-by-136-foot lot. 

The only bedroom. 

And then there's the transformation... What would be a traditional Rosedale home has been reimagined as a full-on Bali tropical retreat.

The jungle-themed bathroom. 

The jungle-inspired upper level is the real showstopper, with a retractable glass wall that opens the space completely to the outdoors.

The indoor waterfall. 

A dramatic indoor waterfall wall adds to the resort vibes, creating an indoor-outdoor experience you wouldn't expect to find hiding in the heart of Toronto.

A wine cellar. 

Oversized rooms, curated global artifacts, and a serene, spa-like ambiance make you feel like you're staying at a hotel that's 42 hours away by plane.

The backyard. 

Step outside, and the vacation energy continues.

The outdoor fireplace. 

The backyard is landscaped, featuring an outdoor living area with a wood-burning fireplace and a 10-person hot tub tucked beneath a thatched-roof gazebo.

The kitchen. 

And fun fact, the home comes fully furnished, so the Tiki Hut vibes are yours to keep if you're so inclined. 

The dining area. 

Of course, the décor is very much the current owner's taste, and not everyone will want to keep the Balinese theme.  

The backyard with a pond. 

But probably the biggest caveat — and likely why the listing price has dropped three times in the last few months — is that the property is being sold "as is".

The living room. 

That could mean some major structural work is needed because sometimes installing a carved stone wall with a waterfall on the second floor comes with consequences.

The basement bathroom with a steam room. 

Or, you know, adding a steam room without properly waterproofing or ventilating things can mean a serious mould issue.  

The hot tub under the thatched-roof gazebo. 

But, for the right buyer, this is a rare chance to own a detached house in Rosedale at a fraction of the neighbourhood's typical price.
