Wonder what the neighbours think about this one!

This is the house that used to be on this lot...

It was a typical 2 1/2 storey Riverdale house.

Now....not so typical.

I'm not sure what the outside was insired by, maybe the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago...

But according to the listing, the interior was 'inspired by the industrial hard lofts of New York and Japanese minimalism'. 

And if that's your thing, it's amazing.

The layout seems a little weird with a huge entryway in the basement...

And the kitchen/living area up these stairs...

But the layout overall is good...

Except that bathroom on the second floor seems pretty small for 3 bedrooms.

I am not sure what the selling price of this house was before it was torn down but the house down the street at 573 Carlaw Avenue...

Sold for $1.1 in 2014.  

This place that now looks like a little institutional on the outside but is kind of great on the inside is now listed at...

$4,295,000.
