This was the home of Dr. Edward Disenhaus and his wife Renee. Dr. Edward graduated from the University of Toronto in 1955. He worked as a doctor until around May of 2002 when he let his membership expire. Renee worked as an operating room nurse in her earlier years.

Their home was built in 1969. It appears that they may have inherited it in 1975 from family. Dr. Ed passed away in January of 2016. Renee passed away in November of 2020 and the estate sold the property for $2,500,000 in 2022.

The house is no longer vacant.

This unique house was constructed in 1956 on land owned by the Czepurnyj family (Ukranian) since 1952.

By 1978 ownership of the house was in the name of to Nadja Czepurnyj, wife of Alexander. In 2007, two of her children (Victor and Luba) were added to the title. Victor’s name was removed from the title in 2015 leaving ownership to daughter Luba. Luba moved back home after her father’s death (around 1990) to help her mother care for the house. The family resided in the house until 2021 when the property was sold for $2,125,000 to a development company.

The house contained four apartments. As for the unique shoe molds embedded in concrete, the creator of this unique design remains a mystery. The house was boarded up just days after our visit in spring of 2023.

As soon as I set foot inside this house, I decided I’d be using my cell phone for photos rather than my wide angle. The reason was there was just too much garbage packed into tight density. There were boxes, letters, bags and assorted garbage covering the floors of every room. Even the stairs were packed with clutter, making it somewhat challenging to navigate the way between rooms.

From what I could gather, three different occupants once lived in this house, one being a Doctor. From the clutter inside, it doesn’t appear that this was the result of people rummaging through the house but rather the way it had been left by the last occupants.

With the exception of the first two images, these were taken with my cell phone.
