Doug Ford's house just hit market for $3.2 million
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is moving and his Toronto house has hit the market for $3.2 million.
The home, located in Etobicoke, was listed on Friday, the agent told CTV News Toronto.
Ford plans to move to his late mother's house, which is located nearby. Ford's mother, Diane Ford, died in January 2020.
In an interview earlier this week in Victoria, Ford told the Toronto Star he's selling his house "as my kids are getting older and they're going to be getting married off and having grandchildren."
Ford launched his Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2018 at his mother's house. It was also the location of Ford Fest, an annual barbecue with his supporters.
"It was a home that my parents opened their doors for everyone to come in and enjoy it. And they were very generous, and we'll continue on that tradition," Ford told the Toronto Star.
According to the listing for Ford's current home, it features "everything you expect from an executive's residence."

"Built on a large lot on a beautiful tree-lined street in the prestigious Princess Anne Manor neighbourhood, the two-storey property boasts nearly 4,500 square feet of living space," the listing says.
The home has six bedrooms and four bathrooms, a two-car garage, and an in-ground pool.

"The backyard is your summer oasis to host pool parties and barbecues, or to simply lounge and sunbathe," the listing says.

The home also features a built-in security system.
Property taxes for Ford’s home will set you back $11,627 per year. The lot measures 63.83 feet by 120 feet.
While Ford has been premier of Ontario, the home has been the location of various protests.

Anti-COVID-19 vaccine mandate protesters have spent hours outside his house, causing a disturbance on the quiet residential street.
In December, a spokesperson for Ford said he and his family couldn't even get into their home due to anti-vaccination protesters demonstrating outside.

Ford has previously used his COVID-19-related press conferences to urge people who want to protest to come to Queen’s Park and stop bothering his family and neighbours.
In June 2021, a 44-year-old man allegedly armed with a butcher's knife was arrested on Ford's doorstep by the Ontario Provincial Police. Ford and his wife were not home at the time of the incident.
