Meghan Markle's Toronto home is up for sale: For $1.4 million, you could live like a princess

Meghan Markle's former Toronto home is up for sale as the soon-to-be princess prepares for her royal wedding next May. The house she rented in Seaton Village hit the market last week and is listed at $1.395 million.
Markle had rented the house since about 2011, when she started filming the TV series Suits. It is owned by Kevin O'Neill and Elizabeth Cabral, a fashion editor and stylist, who reportedly purchased it in 2007 for $508,000.
While some have speculated that the actress is to blame for the jump in list price, the average price of a house in Seaton Village is $1.22 million, and more than half of them are worth $1 million to $1.5 million.
Markle's house isn't even the most expensive one in the Seaton Village market. One home is listed at $1.795 million, and another is going for a hefty $2.2 million.
The modest two-storey home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a detached garage with a special perk: an exit into a back laneway that may have allowed the couple to dodge paparazzi.
Overall, it's a pretty standard home for the neighbourhood, where nearly half of the houses have two stories and three bedrooms. It's being sold by Freeman Real Estate, and realtor.ca described it as a "stylish designer inspired home… perfect for entertaining."
The actress lived with her two rescue pups, Guy and Bogart. She often posted photos on Instagram of them lounging around the house and backyard. She told Vanity Fair that she tried to make the house look like a California bungalow by exposing the hardwood floors and letting in as much light as possible.
But her Instagram activity has whittled down to essentially zero, with her last post in April. She also shut down her blog The Tig, leaving behind only a farewell note to her followers.
Markle and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November after months of speculation, and the actress has officially made her move to the U.K. The prince met Markle in London on a blind date in summer 2016 and visited her at the Toronto home several times throughout their long-distance relationship. They made their first public appearance together in September at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto. In an interview with BBC, the prince, who is fifth in line to the British throne, said they never went more than two weeks without seeing each other, suggesting he visited Toronto periodically.
