$1.95M Toronto house with a toilet in the bedroom dragged on Twitter (VIDEO)
Described as a “finished fire escape” and a “fancy prison,” a tiny Toronto house is drawing ire on social media for its questionable design and lack of square footage.
Located at 138 St. Clarens Avenue, the Brockton Village home is fashioned out of three converted shipping containers. It’s just eight feet wide and is listed at $1,950,000.
When a walk-through of the property was shared on TikTok, and subsequently made its way to Twitter, users across platforms and countries collectively lost their minds.

What is this slice of house?

“This house makes no sense,” one Twitter user said, while another mused that it was “a bit cramped.”
The property is currently divided into three separate units, but the listing notes it could easily be converted into a single-family home.
It features two-plus-one bedrooms and four bathrooms, although the video shows that at least one is in an unusual location.

Why is there a bed in the top floor bathroom

I like how they took a feature of motel rooms, where there’s no stove to cook, and combined that with jail, where your bed is next to a toilet

the location of the toilet was a convenient distraction from this pic.twitter.com/Ba9OIxrFKA

Although it’s not evident in the video, photos of the property show there’s a shower in the bedroom, too.

One observant Twitter user pointed out the apparent lack of an actual stove. Per the listing, the property comes with three electric radiant cooktops and three microwaves.
Other users focused instead on the absurd state of the Toronto real estate market.
I could live in a cramped hallway and sleep in a bathroom too for way cheaper than that.

I thought the point of container homes was to be cheap…and I gotta use the bathroom in my closet of a bedroom? For a million dollars???
