If you've ever dreamed of owning property in downtown Toronto but didn't quite have the budget, good news: a private garage on Nassau St. in Kensington Market is for sale — and it's only two bucks.
Yes, $2. Less than a TTC fare. Less than a latte from Pamenar. Less than a trendy vegan, gluten free cupcake you can eat just a few steps away.
Ok, it's not actually $2 because, of course, there's a tiny catch. The garage isn't technically for sale on its own.
11.5 Lippincott St.
The garage actually is part of the listing at 11.5 Lippincott St.
The foyer.
"The garage and the house are two separate addresses, with two different deeds," explained realtor Sukh Kainth.
A bedroom with original hardwood floors.
"We couldn't just list the house. It's going to be two separate transactions."
A bathroom.
In other words, they legally had to list the garage separately, but it will be sold with the house.
The garage.
So what kind of house comes with the fabulous 17-by-35-foot garage?
The upstairs hallway.
Well, the house, which has been in the same family for over 50 years, is a time capsule.
The front entrance.
It comes complete with loud tile, even louder wallpaper, and mustard yellow carpeting.
The living room and dining room.
But despite the groovy 1970s vibes throughout, the bones are solid.
The basement laundry room.
There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an unfinished basement with ceilings high enough to shock anyone familiar with houses of its era.
The backyard.
There's also a backyard that has leafy urban oasis potential.
The kitchen.
It's not the prettiest of homes, but on the plus side, it's listed for a cool $999,988, which for that area downtown is dirt cheap.
A sunroom.
For context, the average house goes for over $3.5 million.

The garage looks like it might have the potential to become a laneway house, but Kainth isn't sure if that is actually possible on this lot.
The other bathroom.
However, laneway houses aren't unheard of in Kensington Market. In fact, four are being built this year on Wales Ave.

All in all, 11.5 Lippincott St. plus 122 Nassau St. screams potential.
Where the garage is in relation to the house.
And if you've ever wanted to say, "Yeah, I bought a garage in Kensington Market for $2," this is your only chance.
The backyard and back of the house.
Just be ready to pony up a million or more for the rest of the package.
