The Toronto Century Home Guide
Buying, Owning & Selling Older Homes
Toronto’s century homes have character, craftsmanship and a few quirks that newer houses don’t. This guide draws on my experience as a Toronto real estate agent and nearly 20 years of hands-on experience with older homes and renovations. It covers the issues I regularly encounter when buying, selling and improving older properties — from knob-and-tube wiring and foundations to plumbing, insulation, heating and renovations.
