Lizie's Dream House

Heaven in Rosedale.

 She's a beautiful Georgian with great provenance, having only been owned by three families since it was built in the 1930's. 

The grand enterance

 Love the colour of this formal dinning room

Cozy, library/office.

The kitchen is a little meh! But I can probably live with it.

This is the Blue Room.  It's devine

 The current owner said you can see owls from this solarium.  Um sold!

You can't see the pool, but it is just there to the right in this shot.

 Oh yea did I mention it backs onto a ravine trail.  Here is the view from Milkman's Lane.

I mean, is that unreal or what. It's only eight million. No biggie.

Iconic Toronto

Derek Flack, editor and top contributor for BlogTO, wrote a great post today about iconic images of Toronto. Some of the images will be familiar to Property regulars, like Peter Doig's Don Valley image, which of course we have written about before. 

But others were new for the Property team, like this Albert Franck image - Behind Massey Street 1966. 

I was also glad to see two favourites: Kim Ondaatje's The Hearn 1974 

And William Kurelek incredible image  Balsam Avenue After Heavy Snowfall

In addition to Derek's choices there is also Christiane Pflug's 68 Cottingham 

And of course everyone knows the master himself Lawren Harris.

This is his Toronto Street, Winter Morning. Thanks Derek!

The Shit I Live For

Sing Out Louise

Homme Less

The CBC featured a story on Mark Reay this morning.  It was so interesting that I searched out the trailer for you...

In this new documentary from Thomas Wirthensohn we meet Mark Reay, model, and fashion photographer. Reay is debonair, handsome, and well dressed.  But at night he sneaks onto the east side walk up where he sleeps, on the roof under a tarp.  It is an illuminating look at the "glamorous life." And the hardships one man's faces while living a dream.     

On Repeat

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Thanks Shonda for the reminder on this one!

Canada is Having a Moment

Last night was all about Canada.  Drake's video release was the hottest thing to happen to the music industry since Bey dropped her digital album.  

The Blue Jays rolled over Kansas City to get back in the ALCS down two games to one and looking to equalize tonight. 

The Liberals seized a majority government in an historic election. Pretty boy Trudeau was all over the New York Times home page this morning 

Toronto voters elected all Liberals in their downtown riding.  Prompting the above image from Liberal Blue Jays fans.

This guy knows where's it at.
