This is what $850K can get you just one hour from Toronto (PHOTOS)

They say real estate is all about location.

Well, whoever said that was either a billionaire or didn’t live in Toronto. ‘Cause these days it’s nearly impossible to be able to afford, well, any kind of house.

The average price for a home in the GTA is currently just over $900,000. So we thought we’d look just slightly past the limits of greater Toronto and find something for roughly the same price.

And it’s stunning.

Currently listed for $849,000, this 4-bed Victorian in Port Hope is just an hour and 10-minute Go Train ride from downtown Toronto. And it means having, you know, space for a family.

If you want a Toronto comparison, here’s a 2-bed, 2-bath condo at CityPlace you can maul over.

In the meantime, we’ll be busy staring at the beauty below.

Living room/Dining room

Yes, you can have both here. In legitimately separate rooms.

Master bedroom/bath

Usually king-size beds make bedrooms look small. This house does the opposite.
