The best thing about this place, however, has to be the surprisingly reasonable price tag.
Listed for $639,900, this mini castle costs less than the average price of a two-bedroom Toronto townhouse, which is a whopping $851,000.
With some city condos even costing over $1 million in The 6ix, perhaps a move towards the capital could actually save you some serious bucks!
