Century Homes, Explained
Buying or selling a century home requires careful research and some guidance.
Why Century Homes?
Century homes are one of the city's most interesting, and arguably undervalued real estate options.
Toronto has some of the most unique opportunities in terms of single family homes anywhere. What does a New York City brownstone sell for? About 6 times what a comperable Toronto property does. And where else are single-family homes placed directly on the subway line?
Listen to this 99% Invisible podcast episode, explaining why Toronto's century homes and their neighborhoods are so unique.
Why Muskoka Cottages?
Muskoka is Canada’s cottage country at its finest — a perfect blend of rugged natural beauty, tranquility, and timeless tradition. With its sparkling lakes, windswept pines, and classic charm, Muskoka offers an idyllic escape just a short drive from Toronto.
Whether for quiet relaxation or nostalgic summer tradition, Muskoka captures the essence of Canadian cottaging best.
More About Mike
Century homes and lakeside cottages are what I'm passionate about. I've been living in and renovating them for more than a decade. I think I add more value to your buying or selling experience as a result.
Given enough experience and exposure, one develops an intuition about the thing they love. That gut feel that pushes someone to trust or run - I have that for houses and cottages. I love this quote:
"A tremendous amount of expertise resides in the unconscious mind. These aren't things we can necessarily describe, explain or map out. It's a steady accumulation of knowledge that lies below the surface and comes out in the form of intuition. This is one thing that distinguishes experts from non-experts."
- Malcolm Gladwell
