Agent: Richard Silver, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage
Price: $1,325,000
The Place: A renovated former munitions warehouse from the 1850s, tucked into a laneway in the Junction Triangle.
Bragging Rights: This house once hosted Meg Ryan. It doubled as a movie studio while she was filming 2004’s Against the Ropes.
Big Selling Point: The main-floor open-concept studio space is equipped with a kitchen and bathroom, making it ideal as a home office, or even as a potential rental unit.
Possible Deal Breaker: The layout and design of the ex-industrial space are a little unusual. The new owners will have a home-decorating challenge ahead of them.
