A house can look so normal on the outside, but if reality TV and true crime podcasts have taught us anything, it’s that just because something looks normal doesn’t mean it actually is.
Take 58 Haig Ave. This adorable little Toronto bungalow in a family-friendly neighbourhood looks positively lovely. But then you walk inside and BAM! There’s a trap door in the middle of the living room.
Doesn’t it lead to a torture chamber? A dungeon? The possibilities are endless!
Instead, it actually just leads to an unfinished basement with a crawl space, which is a bit of a letdown in terms of intrigue, but ultimately a good thing for the overall resale value of this home.
All kidding and strange trap door placements aside, 58 Haig Ave. is actually a great little detached home in Scarbrough.
The home is small, with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
It has been updated slightly, with what looks like new floors, a fresh coat of paint, and some DIY faux wood beams have been added.
The bathroom and kitchen look like they could use some updating, but the spaces are functional and spacious.
There’s lots of light, and that fireplace in the family room is so cool.
But the best part of this house is the outdoor space.
58 Haig Ave. backs onto the Toronto Hunt Club, so you have no backyard neighbours.
The lush green backdrop combined with the large patio is perfect for relaxing in the summer.
And cat parents will be drooling over the exceptional “catio” where your cats can play outside, but you don’t have to worry about losing them.
If you don’t have cats, the listing mentions it could be a great vegetable garden. Or, just get cats. That works too.
If used for that catless alternative garden, the cage would keep out chipmunks, squirrels, and raccoons, which like to eat the fruits of your labour before you have a chance to.
But why would you get rid of the ultimate catio?? It’s purrrrfect! (Sorry, not sorry.)
58 Haig Ave. is listed for $929,000, which is actually a $130,000 increase from an earlier listing this year of only $799,000. Guess that catio is worth a pretty penny.
