years ago, 15 Durie St. E in Toronto was a tiny one-bed, one-bath bungalow that <a href="https://strata.ca/mls/w3789264">sold for only $800,000</a>.</p><p>Whoever bought the tiny house had vision and made a solid investment. </p><p>Now, 15 Durie St. E is a four-bedroom, six-bathroom stunning luxury home with more smart features than a Silicon Valley startup's break room, and it's listed for 350 per cent more than its purchase price. <img alt="15 Durie Street East Toronto" id="content-image-116122"

</p><p>The home was designed by Erik Jenson with the help of Carolyne Lee and blends mid-century modern style with a fresh, contemporary edge.</p><p>"The residence underwent significant interior design and renovation planning, particularly for the kitchen and third-floor bar areas," explained realtor Yen Ly. </p><p>"The design was managed by CLL Design Studio, focusing on custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, and tailored storage solutions."</p><p><img alt="15 Durie Street East Toronto" id="content-image-116121"
