The thing about house hunting in the Toronto is you need to learn to look past people's questionable design choices to see if the house is actually your dream home. 

It's kinda like dating – sometimes you need to look past your dates horrible outfit to get to the more important things like whether or not they're rude to the waiter. 

Because at the end of the day, you can change someone's clothes (or, in real estate terms, you can change the paint colour) for something way cuter. What you can't change, if we're continuing with this metaphor is personality, aka the foundation.
