22 Seymour Avenue Toronto

Toronto home in the same family since 1913 just hit the market for $1 million

When you picture a family home being passed down through generations, you probably imagine sprawling estates — Downton Abbey vibes, rolling lawns, maybe even a butler.

But not every legacy home comes with acres and chandeliers.

Sometimes, it looks a lot more like 22 Seymour Ave., a humble Toronto detached house that's been in the same family since 1913.

The wood panelling and staircase let you know this isn't a new build. 

That's 111 years of dinners, birthdays, and probably more than a few regrettable decor choices, like the terrazzo vinyl stairs.22 Seymour Avenue Toronto

The front entrance. 

But now, for the first time ever, it's ready for someone new to take over.

The dining room. 

The house itself is small but classic, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and sits on a 25-by-105-foot lot.

The living room. 

The main floor features your standard living room, dining room, and kitchen, complete with original hardwood, a stained-glass window, and moulding — though most of it's been slathered in paint over the decades.

The kitchen. 

The kitchen still features what appears to be its original cabinets, but, thankfully, it also offers modern appliances. Just don't expect a dishwasher.

The bathroom. 

Upstairs are the two bedrooms and the one and only bathroom, which redeems itself with a clawfoot tub.

The primary bedroom. 

The bedrooms are cozy (read: small), with only the primary sporting a closet.

The basement. 

The basement is unfinished, but hey, at least it's not a crawlspace.

The second bedroom. 

Sure, the place could use some love — maybe a refresh, maybe a full HGTV-level transformation — but that's the fun of a century-old home.

The back porch. 

It has bones, it has history, and with a little vision, it could easily last another 100 years.

The backyard. 

Best of all, listed at $1,099,999, it's basically a bargain in this neighbourhood, where homes regularly go for north of $2 million.
