This $800,000 Toronto house is only three metres wide

This Toronto home at 448 Gerrard St. E. reportedly cost a whopping $660 at the time of its construction in 1886— you know, back when Toronto real estate was a cute little burgeoning concept and not a full-contact sport.

According to the City of Toronto assessment roll, the house was also apparently intended to accommodate eight people.

Which is either a typo or completely unhinged, considering this is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house that's just three metres wide — or 10.4 feet, to be exact.

The front entrance. 

Thankfully, the home is now marketed more realistically as a pied-à-terre, best suited for two people and maybe a small, well-behaved pet.

The living room. 

On the main floor, you'll find the expected living spaces: a living room and a compact kitchen with enough room to squeeze in a dining table.

The kitchen. 

The kitchen has been recently updated and, impressively for such a narrow footprint, includes all the essentials.

The living room. 

Despite being only three metres wide, the home doesn't feel claustrophobic thanks to its tall 10-foot ceilings and generous natural light.

One of the bedrooms. 

Upstairs are the two bedrooms and the lone bathroom.

The primary bedroom. 

The primary bedroom doesn't have a wall or door, though, making it more of a loft situation than a traditional "room."

The bathroom. 

The bathroom has also been updated, according to the listing.

The basement. 

Downstairs, the finished basement adds some bonus living space along with extra storage.

The deck. 

Outside, there's a small private deck — just enough room for two chairs, a BBQ, and a moment of reflection about 19th-century housing prices.

A small work-from-home setup in the basement. 

Unsurprisingly, prices have gone up a bit since 1886, and 448 Gerrard St. E. is now listed for $799,900.

A skylight brings in lots of natural light. 

That's obviously nowhere near $660 cheap — or even the inflation-adjusted version of it.

The exterior of the house. 

Still, by Toronto standards, it's actually fairly reasonable, especially when you consider that most semi-detached homes in Cabbagetown typically sell for between $1.2 million and $2.5 million.
