This cozy little property is located along a major road in Vaughan, Ontario. It’s situated next to a large pond and a business. The front of the house is surrounded by a large pile of mud. During my visit the front door was wide open, entry was not an issue. This location has lasted approximately nine years with very little vandalism despite its busy location.  Photo by BigPaulSmall   The kitchen as it originally looked (photo: Motleykiwi)
