Would you pay over $1 million for this house?

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I love to stalk the houses for sale in my neighbourhood and other neighbourhoods across the country. I stumbled across this posting recently and I’m a little stunned that their realtor thought that putting pictures like these on MLS would help sell an over $1 million house (1,099,000 to be exact).

The house is on a pretty major street in a pretty expensive suburb of Toronto, so real estate is already on the high side. And, structurally, it looks like a good-sized house with a lot of land (125 x 125 feet) that is zoned for commercial use, though it’s currently used for residential.
So in the grand scheme of real estate, the price is pretty on par for what else is available. But nothing about this:

this…

or even this:

say $1 million to me…

What do you think? Would location win out for you (main street, lots of traffic, but steps to lots of cute shops), or do you need a little more oomph on the inside to drop that kind of money?
