This stunning 1920s Toronto home is going for $3 million

If you thought this house looks like it could be in a magazine, you'd be right. It has been in several, including Objekt, listing agent Pavlena Brown shared with blogTO. 

And it's no surprise, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house, that was originally built in 1928, is phenomenal as the owners are prominent in the arts and architecture. 

"Lots of the design features were stemming from those roots," Brown explained.
