Rats. Zero period detail on the inside of the house. It looks like so many other recent renos out there (or on those decorating shows). What is the point of buying a Victorian if once inside, there is nothing Victorian about it?
Yeah, agree with the above comment. Such a shame there is nothing original inside this home. I’m thinking ornate mouldings, clawfoot tubs, stain glass windows. Now, its nothing special. That fireplace is horrific.
Whoever writes the comments for these needs to be fired. They are beyond bad, and not even close to funny.
Terraces or no, $2.3M seems an awful lot to pay for a semi on a main street where streetcars roll. They rumble. You hear them.
if noise is an issue for you then dont move into a city, live on a farm
SO many things wrong with this house its bizarre…Why does Rob Ford not want to raise my taxes – a mere $5K annual taxes for a $2.2mil home in Toronto ? madness. Nice location, forget about the streetcar but a semi where you can see which one is my house is craziness!!! Agree with the previous comment, does victorian spell only the shell and nothing else inside and lets not try to bring something form outside to match inside ?! madness!! Not worth it…
This house should sell for around $3 million, the price is setup for a bidding war..let the war begin.
What’s with the astro turf on the terraces? Beyond hideous. Also, I’m not sure I’d want ikea closets in a $2.3M house.
$1.8 million more appropriate for the place.
Inside and outside do not match.

AMEN!
I can’t get over the comments on here so many negative people in this city, nit every home in Cabbagetown has original detail.
What an amazing space. Commercial and residential all in one!
Theres a reason this house has been on the market for so long. Maybe its a little over priced nooo??? (Like 500 000 over priced)
I apologies its actually more like 1.3 mill over priced. Why even list it.
What is up with the decor!?? It’s like they just went in a different mad direction in every room; some if it is nice but all together in one house it’s just weird. How can people not understand that if you want your house to sell you can’t have turquoise walls??!! Seriously paint everything decorators white and be done with it.
…..and flowers stenciled on the stairs, jesus….
Everyone with the negative comments need to stop and take a look inside. It looks amazing. also i love the back gate and the stainless railings look pretty cool also. Well worth the price.
