Someone got really creative with red paint in this $900,000 Toronto house
As many interior designers will tell you, paint can do remarkable things to transform your home.
And it's true, industry experts suggest that a well-executed exterior paint job can increase a home's value by two to five per cent.
Additionally, a professional painting job can yield an average return on investment of around 107 per cent, adding between $2,000 to $16,000 or more to the resale value. 
The view from the front entrance.
However, in the case of 6 Seminole Ave. the paint is hurting more than helping sell this Toronto home.
The basement has a separate entrance.
Last time this house was on the market, it sold within eight days for 12 per cent over asking.
One of the bedrooms.
On the other hand, it has been on and off the market since 2024 and has dropped its asking price three times from $1 million, down to its current price tag of $899,000.
The front of the house.
Why the lack of love this time around? It might have something to do with all that red paint.
The kitchen.
The exterior is fire-engine red, and the colour theme doesn't stop there. The inside follows suit with more red than a Valentine's Day card aisle.
The upstairs bathroom.
Sure, the 'unexpected red theory' is definitely a thing, but this is not it.
The painted wood floors in the living room.
And as for the floors — let's just say someone made a bold choice.
The painted parquet flooring in the hallway.
The original hardwood has been smothered in grey paint, which feels more like a crime than a design decision.
The second bathroom in the basement.
Now, if you can look past the garish red paint, the wood floor tragedy, and the generally dated interior, there is a house with potential.
The large backyard.
Located in a quiet, family-friendly pocket near Kennedy Station, 6 Seminole Ave. sits on a spacious 41-by-120-foot lot with a sunny backyard that's perfect for BBQs, kids, or a very lucky dog.
The oversized window in the living room.
It also gets great natural light, thanks to those oversized windows.
The approved plans for the new house.
The home also comes with City-approved plans to turn this small bungalow into something much bigger.
A bedroom.
According to the listing, there are approved plans for a four-bedroom main floor, a four-bedroom basement house with five bathrooms and an attached garage.
A secondary kitchen in the basement.
The listing also mentions that there is room for "34 parking spots", but that's definitely a typo.
The back of the house where the red paint hasn't been added.
So if you've got vision — and a lot of primer — this place could be a real gem.
