House of the Week: $2 million to live like it’s 1960 in Edenbridge-Humber Valley
House of the Week: $2 million to live like it’s 1960 in Edenbridge-Humber Valley
Address: 31 Edenbrook Hill
Neighbourhood: Edenbridge-Humber Valley
Agent: Alex Brott, Keller Williams Referred Urban Realty, Inc.
Price: $1,999,999
The Place: A perfectly preserved 1960s home by the architecture firm Gardiner Cowan.
Bragging Rights: The only way you could host a more authentic Mad Men party would be to travel back to the 1960s themselves, but then you’d have to watch it on a tiny television—and, you know, find yourself a flux capacitor.
Big Selling Point: This home feels like a well-kept museum, with authentic 1960s touches like LP-sized cubbies, Douglas Fir beams and even built-in fans, perfect for the era when smoking inside wasn’t a social faux-pas.
Possible Deal Breaker: Convincing the owner to part with the gorgeous mid-century furniture may be hard—especially when it comes to that majestic sailfish.
By the Numbers:
• $1,999,999
• $11,807 in taxes (2014)
• 54-or-so years old
• 5 bedrooms
• 3 washrooms
• 3 wood-burning fireplaces
• 1 built-in LP cabinet

- The absolute best part of this house is the lower level, where the carpet comes in a hue that hasn't been manufactured since 1964 (we assume). It matches the furniture perfectly, though.

Nooooooooooo!!
I absolutely love this house
If that happens, it’s further proof that most people with money have no taste.
They really phoned it in on that last bedroom, huh?
Love this house.
If I could live in this house, I wouldn’t care.
