    Toronto's smallest house is up for sale!

    If....
    a.. You live alone or with one other person (or an extremely small dog!!!)
    b.. You don't have much stuff (barely more than a homeless person!!)
    c.. You miss that cute little apartment you lived in while teaching English in Japan, then this is the place for you!

    This house, located near the intersection of Dufferin Street and Rogers Road is believed to be Toronto's smallest house. Occupying what used to be a driveway, it's a one-bedroom, one-bathroom house that sits on a parcel of land 7.25 feet (2.2 metres) wide and 113.67 feet (34.6 metres) long and has an interior area of just under 300 square feet (under 28 square metres).
    The asking price is $179,900.!!!! (Canadian dollars)

    (Embedded pics removed_located beneath)
    Here's another look at the front:
    Here's the living room, looking towards the front of the house:
    Here's the living room again, looking towards the back of the house.
    Here's the kitchen looking towards the back of the house. Note that despite the small space, they've managed to fit a washer and dryer into the place:
    Here's the bedroom, looking towards the back of the house.
    It comes with a Murphy bed, which is a necessity in such a space.
    This is what it looks like with the Murphy bed down:
    ...and here's the bedroom (looking towards the front of the house) with the Murphy bed retracted:
    You also get some patio space out back. Here it is, looking towards the front of the house.
    ...and here it is looking towards the back:

    Here are the house's listed features:
    a.. "Completely Re-Done Top-To-Bottom, Front-To-Back!"
    b.. Tumbled stone entrance walk
    c.. Renovated Bath
    d.. Renovated kitchen with newer stove, new cabinets and new stacked washer/dryer
    e.. Bedroom with Murphy bed + "Built-Ins" - doubles as den!
    f.. Walk-out to fenced patio
    g.. 100-amp service
    h.. 2 satellite dishes and receiver
    i.. "Window A/C Available"

    That's a nice wee place. Pricey though!!
    When I was a wee kid my Mum, Dad, and two baby brothers lived in a garage for six months or so. Nice garage, in the middle of Central Otago, in the middle of a huge section, but still a garage. I don't think we lived there in the winter though, as it didn't have a fire.

    You might have trouble riding the bike through the house every day, as the house is where the driveway once was.

    When I was at university there were 18 of us living in a wheelbarrow in the lagoon. It was OK until somebody needed to take a leak.

    You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

    You had it easy ... We used to live, all 45 of us, in a hole in the road. We'd get up at 3am, half an hour before we went to bed, lick t'road clean, work at t'mill for 26 hours a day and pay mill owner for t'privilige, and when we got home our dad would slice us in half with a bread knife and dance on our graves.

    And you tell young people of today, and they won't believe you...
