Toronto house that looks frozen in the 1960s just got a huge price cut

The last time England won the FIFA World Cup was around the last time this Toronto house changed hands.

And if it were possible for a house to be preserved in amber for nearly six decades, that's exactly what seems to have happened at 279 McRoberts Ave.

The three-bedroom bungalow in Toronto's Rogers Road neighbourhood has recently received a significant price cut, dropping from its original asking price of $889,900 to $799,900.

The basement rec room. 

While plenty of listings promise "original character," this one is like stepping into a time capsule.

The same family has owned the property for almost 60 years, and judging by the interiors, very little has changed since they moved in.

The upstairs kitchen. 

The kitchen is the undisputed star of the show, complete with groovy brown-and-orange tilework that looks straight out of a 1960s catalogue. The appliances appear old enough to collect a pension, and there's no dishwasher because when this kitchen was designed, dishwashers were still considered a lavish luxury.

The basement kitchen. 

It's the kind of room where you half expect someone to offer you a cigarette and a Jell-O salad.

A bedroom. 

And judging by the colour of some of the walls, plenty of cigarettes were probably enjoyed here over the years.

Strong retro vibes in the downstairs kitchen. 

The retro vibes continue throughout the house. Downstairs, the basement features the classics, including psychedelic wallpaper and wood panelling.

A side entrance. 

Surprisingly, one iconic design choice from the era is missing.

Despite the home's apparent refusal to acknowledge the passage of time, there isn't a single piece of shag carpeting to be found.

A bathroom. 

Beyond the nostalgia factor, the property offers some genuinely practical features.

The double garage. 

The bungalow includes three bedrooms, a walk-up basement with a separate rear entrance that could work well for extended family, and a rare double garage with laneway access.

There are also separate side-door entrances from both the front and rear yards, giving future owners flexibility should they decide to reconfigure the space.

Another bedroom. 

Of course, for many buyers, the biggest selling point may be the potential.

Some will see a full-scale renovation project. Others may see an opportunity to build something entirely new on the roughly 18-by-122-foot lot.

The front entrance. 

But it would be a shame if at least a few of the home's untouched details didn't survive. The original hardwood floors alone have managed to outlast multiple prime ministers, fashion trends, and Leafs playoff disappointments.

Either way, in a city increasingly filled with identical grey-and-white flips, 279 McRoberts Ave. stands out simply because it never got the memo.

The basement laundry room. 

Also, because it's more than $700,000 cheaper than the average house in this area.
