House of the Week: $2 million for a Mimico home with a spectacular view and private beach

1. No photos of the view? Weak.

2. Is that a window A/C unit on the 2nd floor? In a 2M home, really?

3. I think this is a very lovely home by Lake Ontario and the Humber River in Mimico, Ontario. I wonder what the property tax are for the year, eh? How many gargages does it pocess?

4. if I ever am able to buy a mansion with a private beach it will not be on Lake Ontario

5. “Modern-style kitchen”?? Umm…1983 called – they want their cupboards back! And yes, that is a window A/C unit in the second floor window. But my ultimate favourite is the cat litter scooper on the side of the bathtub in the bathroom picture. Really?! No one thought to remove that before taking photos to accompany the ‘for sale’ listing? LOL!!

6. Doesn’t it stink at the mouth of the Humber River? And has anyone ever taken a look at the water after a rain storm? Ewwww.

7. Hmmm 8 mile without Eminem- not worth it!!!
   An a/c unit..wow

8. A more decent colour scheme would have been better as I agree the red in the kitchen is a bit outdated. Also would have removed the AC temporarily for the photo. No pictures of the grounds surrounding or patios or something? If you want someone to buy that for 2 million you have to make some effort to make it appealing.

9. Give me a house at the beaches any day, sure to be better than this and for less!

10. Actually, it’s a lovely large house with a nice blend of period details and modern upgrades. Ignore the decorating style and paint colours (all easily changed), and see the high ceilings, large rooms, nice touches, etc. Private beach, waterfront. Update the lighting fixtures and kitchen cupboards for a modern look. I also suspect this has garage and central air, but perhaps one top room is too hot in the sun? We’ve found this in our own home, and good curtains were the solution, not window AC. Finally, Mimico is underrated – close to downtown, good public transit, good services in Etobicoke, tons of waterfront, and so on. I actually prefer it over more highly-prized locations like the Beaches, which are a bit too gentrified and fashionable.

11. No matter how many times it happens, I’m still shocked every time I see the kitchens in these multi-million-dollar TL feature homes. Almost without fail, they’re terrible. I love the giant gas range, but the counters and cabinets look like they were designed by Office Depot.

12. I love it! A few small changes like the paint in the master bath and it’s good to go. It’s a fabulous house. I’d love to see some more outdoor pics especially of the private beach and where a dock could be built.

14. This is all about the property. Amazing property, dated, unimaginative “builder” home. Gives me the shivers to think about what this property would look like with a modern glass home… maybe even a pre-fab to keep the costs down after dropping a fortune on the land and the tear-down…. http://www.prefabs.com/modern_prefab_homes.htm
