Address: 17 Rebecca Street
Neighbourhood: Trinity-Bellwoods
Agent: David Young and Kate Leigh Young, Sutton West Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: $529,900
The Place: A two-bedroom townhouse on a narrow street between the hipster meccas of Ossington Avenue and Trinity Bellwoods Park.
Bragging Rights: Only a 30-second jaunt from the park, you can literally run home to use the bathroom (or refresh your cooler) between rounds of bocce ball.

 between rounds of bocce ball.
Big Selling Point: Turns out you don’t need to be a millionaire to buy a house in this neighbourhood. For the price of a mid-sized condo, you get two bedrooms, an open-concept main floor and a miniature back yard.
Possible Deal Breaker: In small spaces, some rooms have to serve dual purposes. In this case, the second bedroom doubles as an office and the laundry room is tucked in the bathroom.
By The Numbers:
• $529,900
• $2,884.28 in property taxes (2012)
• 2 bedrooms
• 2 storeys
• 2 outdoor spaces
• 1 bathroom
• 1 fireplace

thats a beautiful home…. and to think people pay this much or more for a crappy box in the sky in condoville
This house has termites which should have been mentioned in the possible deal breaker section.
Nice looking place, but where do you put the people?
