If you've ever wondered how far the Toronto real estate market can stretch your imagination — and your definition of "move-in ready" — let us present 5 Gillespie Ave. This house, complete with boarded-up windows and caution tape, is still asking for a hefty sum of $629,000. Located in Davenport Village, this three-bedroom, two-bath semi-detached home has… well, "potential" feels too generous. So yes, even completely boarded up and wrapped in caution tape, 5 Gillespie Ave. proves once again that in Toronto, the dream of homeownership is alive and a bit unhinged. But if you've ever wanted to purchase a house at a reduced price, this is one way to do it.
