UMVA has learned that the former Toronto home of Colonel Harland Sanders, the legendary founder of KFC, has hit the market, offering a unique chance to own a piece of fast-food history.
The modest side-split house, located at 1337 Melton Drive in the Lakeview area of Mississauga, was once the part-time residence of Sanders and his wife Claudia, who moved to the area in 1965 to oversee his Canadian franchises.
As a familiar figure on this side of the border, Sanders was often spotted wearing his iconic white suit, making appearances that left a lasting impression on the community. The house, now listed for $1,499,999, boasts more than 2,000 square feet of finished living space, complete with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and multiple family rooms.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the property has undergone significant changes since Sanders' time, including a 2014 addition partially designed by renowned designer Jane Lockhart. This renovation has transformed the house into a stunning, move-in-ready residence that's being touted as "one of a kind."
At the heart of the home is a bright, open-concept kitchen that connects seamlessly to the main living area, den, and dining room, making it the perfect space for culinary creativity and family gatherings. A private main-floor primary bedroom retreat is another highlight, featuring its own accessible ensuite bathroom with skylight and heated flooring.
The outdoor space is equally impressive, with beautifully landscaped gardens, a private backyard patio, and a powered garden shed. Additional upgrades include heaters on soffits, central vacuum, a backup generator, and two fireplaces, making this property a true gem.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that an open house is scheduled for Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., offering a chance for prospective buyers to experience this unique piece of history firsthand.
