654 Queen St. W Toronto

Toronto bakeshop building is for sale for $4 million

There's something a bit mysterious and captivating about the buildings along Queen Street. 

While many of us know what the ground level of these buildings look like, especially if you're a Sweetie Pie fan, not many Torontonians can say they know what the rest of the building looks like. 

Or maybe you're like us and just curious about what the commercial store frontage is actually worth for a place right on Queen St. West.

Either way, the recent listing of 654 Queen St. W satisfies both of these curiosities.
