The owner, a former seamstress and knitter who fancied herself an interior decorator, has lived in the home since she was 24 years old.
The modest two-story, three-bedroom home is built of brick and stone.
The home was decorated from the best of the 1950s and 1960s from floor to ceiling: metallic wallpaper with baroque prints, colorful carpeting, neo-ornate spendor and more. Despite her age, she and her family maintained the home’s classic beauty and eccentricities for 72 years.
In 2014, the 96-year-old Toronto resident put her two-story home located in the West Toronto neighborhood of Bloor West Village up for sale. She is now living in a retirement community.
Asking price for the home: $699,000.
