Beachfront living is hard to come by in this city, especially for less than $1 million. But, every once in a while, a floating home for sale in Toronto offers the best of both worlds — gorgeous living on the water for less-than-average prices.

The two-storey home for sale is one of just 25 floating properties in the Scarborough Bluffs gated community.

The marina is situated down the road from the sandy beaches with Blue Flag water quality and a short commute into the city.
