Meghan Markle’s Million-Dollar Toronto Home Sells in a Week

From the outside, it doesn’t look like much.

According to Realtor.com, this relatively modest two-story Toronto home, decked out “like a California bungalow,” is where Meghan Markle lived — and where Prince Harry slept — before the royal couple got engaged last month. Markle rented the home in the tony Seaton Village section of Toronto’s west end for two years. It went on the market earlier this month for around $1.09 million — and sold in less than a week, Canadian press outlets reported. (The price won’t be disclosed until the deal closes.)

“The home is aspirational. A million dollars is expensive, but . . . it’s not like Beyonce’s $88 million home in Bel-Air,” said brokers Dolly and Jenny Lenz. They believe the house was snapped up so quickly because of its relatively reasonable price.

The three-bedroom home comes with an eat-in kitchen, a landscaped garden, a finished basement and a two-car garage. It’s where Markle, an actress, lived for two years while working on the TV show “Suits,” which shoots in Toronto. It’s also where Prince Harry and Markle hung out before announcing their engagement last month.

“It’s a nice thought to think, ‘Wow, Prince Harry used this toilet,’ ” said Daniel Freeman, of Freeman Real Estate, which sold the home, according to Canadian press reports.
