RIDICULOUS!!! (UPDATE)*

Looking for a laneway house!?!

Look no further!!!!

This laneway house at 30 Hanson Street in the Greenwood-Coxwell area has no bathroom, no bed (at least from what I can see), basically no kitchen (unless you consider a hotplate and a toaster oven a kitchen)....

But there is electricity!!!

As this listing states...

New Owner Will Need Install Bath And Kitchen Fixtures And Connect To The City

So...........

Is that grate in the lane beside this 'cute and cozy' house the washroom!?!

This is a garden shed/shack with electricity!!!!

This 'oasis' sits on a 20 x 14.5 foot lot.

Annnd....

It is listed at $229,000.

On the bright side....taxes are only $168/year!

UPDATE:   Normally, I don't consider cost per square foot for houses because there are so many variables in houses such as finishes, location...but a big thank you to a reader (thanks D!) who pointed out that if you take this price at square foot cost for land value alone, this is costing $790/square foot for the land (or $1,211/square foot for the shed!).

So, that means that the land value for this house at 56 Alcina Avenue in Wychwood (that has a not so great stair layout but that doesn't matter for this comparison), located in a more central, hot neighbourhood, and on a kind of a standard detached 25 x 140 foot lot in Toronto...

Should be listed at $3,846,000.

FOUR MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!

JUST FOR THE LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has to be a joke, right!?!

It has to be.

* Thanks to the commentor for pointing out that the bath is probably the Monarch Park Swimming Pool across the street...
