194 Cedric Avenue Toronto

Tiny $600,000 Toronto home comes with treehouse-like backyard deck

If there's one perk of owning a home over renting in Toronto — and there aren't many — it's that you can do whatever you want to your house without a landlord giving you side-eye.

Whoever owned 194 Cedric Ave. took that philosophy to heart… and then went a little wild.

This century-old bungalow in Oakwood Village comes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and perhaps the most bewildering deck addition you'll ever see.194 Cedric Avenue Toronto

The living room. 

On the main floor, you've got a living room and all three bedrooms.

A bedroom with a powder room. 

One of the bedrooms even has a tiny powder room tucked inside.

The main bathroom. 

Meanwhile, the main bathroom is downstairs, along with the kitchen. Unconventional? Absolutely. But hey, you own the place, so rules are optional.

The kitchen. 

The kitchen cabinets are a charmingly mismatched collection, proving that cohesion is clearly overrated.

The inside of the deck. 

But the real head-turner is the deck off one of the main-floor bedrooms.

The outside of the deck. 

Mostly enclosed and undeniably a DIY special, it might be shaped vaguely like a wood chipper, probably holds together, and is… uniquely yours. Legal? Who's to say. Unique? 100 per cent.

The shed. 

Beyond the deck, the property includes a spacious workshop/shed—prime real estate for your next creative project or hobby.

But let's get real: the reason 194 Cedric Ave. is a hot ticket isn't its eccentric deck or basement kitchen — it's the land.

The basement. 

Sitting on a generous 18 by 100-foot lot in Oakwood Village, this property is surrounded by homes that routinely sell for $1.2 million to $2.6 million.

And at a listing price of $599,000, it's an almost guaranteed return on investment if you're thinking about building new.

But if you're not ready to take the construction or renovation plunge, the listing does say the house is "liveable."
