'Muskoka meets Rome in the City'

What!?!

What are they talking about?

Where is the Rome part?  Is this what they are referring to?

When I first saw this 4+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a 50 x 178 foot lot, I thought it was the house at the corner of Spadina and Old Forest Hill Road that I am kind of obsessed with (if it weren't for the location).  I feel like I have talked about it before but I am not sure.  Here it is....

But it isn't the same house.  This Muskoka meets Rome house is in Casa Loma.

If you have a lot of primer and the patience to update this place, it could be amazing.  But right now it is VERY tired.  

But there are so many parts of this listing that are entertaining.

Like the toaster oven in the kitchen (not to mention the wallpaper and floors)...

This (why?)...

And this (hey there!)...

But considering the amount of work this house needs and the fact that the completely done house at 138 Lyndhurst Avenue is still sitting on the market...

I don't think this will sell for the asking price.

This house is listed at $2,399,000.

It could be great but I can't see it going anywhere close to list.  

It's just not a $3.3 million house when it is done.
