Spoiler image for the super impatient:

I kill my dad to have this house. Even the Egyptian stuff I’d fuck with.
Definitely not on a half acre lot though
That’s an incredible house. I wouldn’t have the heart to tear out the sarcophagus toilet, even if the place didn’t probably cost more money than I’ll ever have in my lifetime.
Strong vibes that a retired couple currently live there and a property developer will partition it into ten apartments.
The sarcophagus toilet.
Worth the visit!
I have a couple questions:
- Have you ever sacrificed any humans on that altar?
- How many humans have been sacrificed on they altar?
This is like the house of my dreams. Not my daydreams, my actual sleeping dreams, where each room is super weird and I can never find my way back to the one room I need to be in.
…i think we explored this place in our call of cthulhu campaign; poor henry was reduced to black ooze…
every room looks like it belongs to a different house
3,500 sq ft, 0.05 acres?!
Craziest part- then it opens and you see what’s inside.
Jokes aside, I could live here
I liked the watermelon room
Me: Well, this looks perfectly normal, I don’t really see why they…Oh.
Egyptian room is certainly a choice, but the rest I’m not mad about? The exposed walls look legit and give the house some character, and the spaces that are renovated are tasteful.
My only complaint with the rest is the weird kitchen that’s both gigantic and way too small.
It is a bit weird, I think the 3.5m walls and the cabinets not reaching the ceiling are messing with my brain.
That was my thought, those rooms in the middle pictures looked better than the earlier ones
Is that a toilet?
Valley of the Rings
Toot-and-come-in
Nifertiti
The Bummy
Shatophagus
Cleofartra
Sarcophashits
The irony of my laughing at this while taking a shit is not lost on me.
Shits 'n giggles
It’s the royal throne.
Bad real estate? More like amazing real estate. I love it lmao. Well, except for the pricetag.
But that’s in Canadian dollars, so it’s like 20% cheaper in USD.
It’s a toilet and a shower.
yeah, I think so. A black toilet.
Considering that it looks to be a very old house, that room may have been decorated in the 1920s, when Ancient Egypt was all the rage. I don’t see a problem here.
According to the write-up the house was built in 1859 but the Egyptian suite was painted by Mike Lewis, who appears to be an artist based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Looking him up I found this story from CBC when it was on the market in 2020 and it seems it was commissioned by the then-owner, a historian and filmmaker.
I thought the awful inlaw sweet was the surprise at first, then I knew I was wrong.

Taste is developed, not bought
A super white space with a fireplace in every room, then suddenly you’re in a bedroom without walls (I guess they ran out of money?), then a horrible marble bathroom, then suddenly it looks like a completely different house with terracotta tiles and feature brickwork everywhere, then a toilet with like… limestone walls? A kitchenette bigger than my actual kitchen in a sitting room where none of the 6+ chairs face the TV. I dig the spoiler room though, that last fuckin toilet got me. I couldn’t imagine living in a place like that.
I think it’s brick in some areas because that’s the converted basement area. The other parts probably already had walls like that and they just painted them.
It’s a very strange house. Most of it is beautiful but not very stylistically consistent, and then boom, sarcophagus toilet.
Lots of effort to make it immaculate but the 3 different types of wood in the downstairs clash horribly, eurgh…
