    That’s an incredible house. I wouldn’t have the heart to tear out the sarcophagus toilet, even if the place didn’t probably cost more money than I’ll ever have in my lifetime.

    Strong vibes that a retired couple currently live there and a property developer will partition it into ten apartments.

      The sarcophagus toilet.

      Worth the visit!

    I have a couple questions:

    1. Have you ever sacrificed any humans on that altar?
    2. How many humans have been sacrificed on they altar?

    Craziest part- then it opens and you see what’s inside.

    Jokes aside, I could live here

    Honestly, I just want to go through all these sites and red-pen the basic English errors. We’re supposed to be better than this.

    Also, the house is BONKERS-gorgeous. I can dig the quasi-finished basement and the uncovered window near the bath - that’d be fixed soon! - but the painted-wood floors really take me back to my youth (although they were painted for us because we had no money to put proper flooring down). I love the exposed hot-water heating, as our unfinished basement had that along the roof neat the support structure, too. For me, this is all retro-based joy.

    But that room; what do you do? Paint would desecrate it, but leaving its eyesore self is also sacrilege. One can only either sell the entire house on as this owner has done, or perhaps find a way to remove the roof and wall panels and rebuild them in some rich wank’s monkey-house somewhere else. Rich bastard’s not taking the floors but he can have the custom finishes too.

    All this for c$8k/mo . That’s double my rent, and we’re really proud of our new apartment, in a big building with AC standard, atop a huge secure garage and in the middle of a relaxing 15-min mini-city design just steps from the metro. I can’t be lured away for double, brick walls and painted mohogany be damned.

      I think the solution is to board up the room and leave it for future generations to rediscover and be horrified and mystified on turns

    Egyptian room is certainly a choice, but the rest I’m not mad about? The exposed walls look legit and give the house some character, and the spaces that are renovated are tasteful.

        It is a bit weird, I think the 3.5m walls and the cabinets not reaching the ceiling are messing with my brain.

    Considering that it looks to be a very old house, that room may have been decorated in the 1920s, when Ancient Egypt was all the rage. I don’t see a problem here.

      According to the write-up the house was built in 1859 but the Egyptian suite was painted by Mike Lewis, who appears to be an artist based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Looking him up I found this story from CBC when it was on the market in 2020 and it seems it was commissioned by the then-owner, a historian and filmmaker.

    A super white space with a fireplace in every room, then suddenly you’re in a bedroom without walls (I guess they ran out of money?), then a horrible marble bathroom, then suddenly it looks like a completely different house with terracotta tiles and feature brickwork everywhere, then a toilet with like… limestone walls? A kitchenette bigger than my actual kitchen in a sitting room where none of the 6+ chairs face the TV. I dig the spoiler room though, that last fuckin toilet got me. I couldn’t imagine living in a place like that.

      I think it’s brick in some areas because that’s the converted basement area. The other parts probably already had walls like that and they just painted them.

      It’s a very strange house. Most of it is beautiful but not very stylistically consistent, and then boom, sarcophagus toilet.

        Lots of effort to make it immaculate but the 3 different types of wood in the downstairs clash horribly, eurgh…

    This is like the house of my dreams. Not my daydreams, my actual sleeping dreams, where each room is super weird and I can never find my way back to the one room I need to be in.
