After spending quite some time on the market and going through several price reductions, a well known skinny home in Toronto's South Riverdale neighbourhood has finally sold.
Located at 154 Hamilton Street, the detached, 4-storey, narrow home is set back from the curb and is tucked effortlessly between the neighbouring properties on a lot only 15-feet across while towering over the tops of the houses surrounding it.
With a modern and aesthetically pleasing white and black facade, the skinny house looks nothing like the older, adjacent detached homes. Instead, it seems like it belongs perched on a hillside in California or housed in New York's trendy Dumbo neighbourhood in Brooklyn.
But alas, the skinny house calls the family-friendly neighbourhood of South Riverdale home.

Inside, the central staircase serves as a focal point on each level, facilitating a tower-like feel throughout the home. And, as the kitchen and dining space share a floor with the living room, entertaining is easy.
The home has three bedrooms, three bathrooms -- which is impressive given the home's size -- floor-to-ceiling windows, a front-facing balcony, and two Juliette balconies boasting great views.
On April 20, the home closed for $1.75 million, just over half its initial asking price of about $3 million in 2018. Currently, the average selling price for a detached home in Toronto is $1,716,272, so this home sold slightly above that average.
