1. Other downfall? Living next door to Michelle Landsberg & Stephen Lewis…

2. The house is gorgeous, but the decor sucks. Thank god that can be changed.

3. Are there that many potential buyers out there for a $5.6M home that the sellers don’t have to do a thing to present this home in a manner that is fitting with the asking price? Half-empty rooms, old grandma furniture and hideous carpets, c’mon!

4. Absolutely lovely house, but afraid I want more than five feet between me and my neighbours for that kind of money.

5. Madness!!! 9 bathrooms and 6 bedrooms! WTF! Does rich people need to Pooh in a different bathroom every day ?!

6. Housing is the most manipulated market in the world:

   Why Not? Its a pooing experience.

8. It’s a carpet showroom!

9. I would like more info about the actual house instead of silly comments.

10. Great location but seems a little high considering no pool and a limited back yard.

11. eewwwww….looks like a suburbanite bumped into an oldtime travelling carpet salesman and went big on a small lot. People! Stay true to your materials! A quasi (or is it queasy-) Georgian structure made of poured concrete? And did they hire a Feng Shui expert to purposely create multiple hard-to-furnish rooms with irregular windows, no centre, or a toilet as a focal point? Eeek.

12. The decor is truly awful. These people have no taste at all, yuck!

13. I must say, the comments throughout the pictures were absolutely hilarious. Even more entertaining than the pictures themselves!

14. loved the funny comments. only reason i read this. wife emailed me.

    funny comment person should get a raise.

15. Some nice features, but it’s another example of all the renos happening in Forest Hill – houses getting additions or rebuilt and ending up way too big for their lots. A few feet of space between you and your neighbours? All that crammed onto a tiny lot? Ick, it’s an epidemic.

16. I was viewing the pictures, as a means to escape and day dream, but it was the comments, which have sent me laughing around the world.

17. it is a beautiful house but no pool no backyard

18. Take out all the furnishings and you do have a beautiful house. It does amaze me the amount of money people spend on reno’s then either have no furniture for the huge new space or heinous out dated furniture for the huge new space. I would rather have a smaller but perfectly furnished and decorated home, and one not 5 feet from and staring directly into my neighbours house.

19. An over priced wannabe house. Looks initially promising especially the front facade, but seriously disappointing once you see the pictures of the interior. A pretentious house with relative below-par finishes. Outrageously priced, regardless the location, considering what you get once you strip the outer layer off.

20. Totally agree that this house is overpriced. Check out my review I did way back on December 5th to see a comparable house but $1,140,000 cheaper!
