The iconic detached basement of 65 Alberta Avenue.
Remember the iconic garage entrance in Scott Pilgrim vs The World? The very door that led to Michael Cera's apartment in the film? Well, folks, that door can be yours, along with the rest of this gorgeous 3-storey brick Toronto house for sale.
Nestled in the prestigious Wychwood/Hillcrest Village area, the house is a real charmer. It's been owned and adored by the same family for over seven decades, and it's easy to see why. We're talking 5 bedrooms, a sunroom, and a backyard with a BBQ setup that's as palpable as a Pilgrim combo.

"Great for relaxing or entertaining. It overlooks a charming park, and is perched high enough to ensure privacy. It is an area close to excellent schools, shopping and transportation, and the walkability score is very high. This is a rare find," he told Narcity.

"The Scott Pilgrim vs the World production company were thrilled with the property's assets, and thought it was ideal to create Scott's iconic basement apartment entrance out of the garage. Although the current owner chose to leave it as is once filming was over, as a nod to its history, the garage entrance can be re-converted to a traditional up/down door," he added.
