Toronto duplex with tons of original features is somehow under $1 million

If you've spent any time scrolling Toronto real estate lately, you know that seeing anything with four walls and a roof listed under $1 million usually means one of two things: it's either a shoebox or it's missing said roof.

But 41 Tyndall Ave. in Parkdale? This one is a head-scratcher.

Listed at just $899,000, this Edwardian duplex sits proudly on a sunny corner lot, dripping with early-1900s charm — leaded glass windows, a turret, fireplaces, hardwood floors, and even a rooftop deck.

The foyer with original stained-glass windows. 

And yet, it's somehow priced barely above the average cost of a condo downtown, and way below the neighbourhood's going rate.

For context: the average detached home in this area sells for around $2.25 million.

Cute period details. 

Even more eyebrow-raising, this same property sold for $1,056,550 back in 2015 — meaning, on paper, it's somehow gotten cheaper over the past decade.

Suspicious? Definitely. But undeniably intriguing.

Original stained-glass windows and a built-in bookcase. 

Built circa 1911, the duplex currently holds two self-contained units — perfect for multigenerational living, rental income, or a conversion back to a single-family stunner.

The main floor and basement feature elegant principal rooms, a granite-countered kitchen, and a bedroom suite with heated floors downstairs.

The upstairs unit's modern kitchen. 

Upstairs, the second and third floors make up the other unit, with an updated kitchen, bay windows, a sunny east-facing office, and two third-floor bedrooms.

The house definitely needs some work.

The basement. 

The inspection mentions a leaky roof and foundation, some water damage, and missing heating in several rooms, but all of that is kind of given with century-old homes. 

A bedroom with bay windows. 

Add in four-car parking and that quintessential Parkdale curb appeal, and you've got a home that seems almost too good to be true at this price.

A fireplace.

Is it a clever marketing tactic? A typo? Or just one of those rare Toronto unicorns that slipped through the cracks?

blogTO reached out to the realtor for some insight into why this house is so cheap, but did not receive an immediate response.

Either way, someone's going to jump on this, and the rest of us will be left wondering if we just missed the deal of the decade.
