TORONTO - Toronto's smallest house is back on the market.

So tiny a mouse may feel cramped, 128 Day Ave. has three modernized, ground-floor rooms, a four-piece bathroom and a new entrance door almost half the width of the front of the home.

Totalling 350 sprawling square feet, "it's an adorable little property," Re-Max 2000 agent Antonio Nardi said Wednesday.

The famous little house has been featured in articles and on television, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

A man who bought the house about four years ago and rented it to a student for $900 a month before having major renovations done, wants a bigger investment property, Nardi said.

It was listed earlier this month.

Anyone with big dreams of a single-family home in Canada's biggest city may be tempted by the dollhouse's price -- a mere $179,000.

That includes the land, back patio and two, count 'em two, parking spaces off a rear lane of almost century-old homes.

Others, including the towering two-storey neighbouring single dwellings, have more than four times the interior space and would sell for about $400,000, Nardi said.

The St. Clair Ave. W.-Weston Rd.-area property was originally a lane. Nardi said the house was built in 1912 and has been occupied by several families over the years.

Billed as an option to some bigger-bucks downtown condos with just 10%-30% more space, almost two dozen prospective buyers have visited, Nardi said, "and a couple of people are mulling it over.

"It's bigger than it looks," he said.

The white aluminum-sided home has a Victorian-style peaked roof and covered porch.

Inside, the 36-square-foot bedroom has a Murphy bed, which folds up into the wall.

The kitchen, at 12 by 6.9 feet, has a four-burner stove, a sink on a narrow counter and a stacked washer and dryer near a fridge.

As for the 36-square-foot living room, well, two people can easily snuggle on the lone couch.

Lastly, the 50-square-foot basement, which rises about 41/2 feet above the gravel floor, has room for storage near the furnace.

Promoting it as ideal for a single person, Nardi said it can be yours for $9,000 down, $1,051 monthly, covering the mortgage, utilities and taxes.

"I believe it is the smallest house in Toronto," he said, adding confidently: "It's livable."
