- The 14,500square-foot compound features purple carpeting, Prince's logo and a desk used by the musician
- The home was listed two years ago, but the seller took it off the market shortly after Prince's death
- A year later the home is back on sale and listed for $13million, four million more than it was previously

Prince's former Toronto home, which he lived in during the early 2000s, is on the market for $13million (£10million).
The Purple Rain megastar's former home was last listed for $9.5million (£7.4million) two years ago, before his death.
The 14,500square-foot compound features purple carpeting and Prince's symbol as reminders that the home once belonged to the musician.

While the home was listed for sale two years ago, the seller took it off the market shortly after Prince's death because he didn't want it to look like he was capitalizing on the star's death
Still in the home is an iron-type desk where Prince, who died of a painkiller overdose in April 2016, wrote and read.
While the home was listed for sale two years ago, the seller took it off the market shortly after Prince's death because he didn't want it to look like he was capitalizing on the star's death, TMZ reported.
But now, a year after Prince's death, the home - which sits in the same neighborhood as one of rapper Drake's homes - is back on sale.
Prince lived in the home from 2001 to 2006 when he was married to his second wife, Canadian Manuela Testolini. It is not believed that the couple ever lived in the home full time.
Files from the couple's divorce were unsealed earlier this year, showing that they lived a luxurious lifestyle that included spending $50,000 per party after major awards ceremonies.

Despite having the Toronto home for several years, Prince was known for spending much of his time at his mansion in Minnesota
The stunning home features wood floors, fire places and floor-to-ceiling windows that give residents a nice view of the back yard

The documents do not give financial details of the final divorce settlement, but Testolini did receive a house in Toronto worth about $6million at the time and a Lexus automobile, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
The files show Testolini said the couple threw lavish parties after the Oscars and the Grammys with Testolini hiring a $5,000-a-day stylist to do her hair and makeup.
The records also show the couple would spend $50,000 on food, drinks and decor for each party.
Testolini had objected to the records being unsealed, claiming the disclosure would put her and her family at risk. Her attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
'We had accounts at boutiques including Gucci, Versace and Valentino. We had accounts at Saks. There was never any restriction on (Prince's) or my spending,' Testolini said in the divorce files.
Prince and Testolini met when she was a consultant for his charity, Love 4 One Another. They married on Christmas Day in 2001
But after the couple's divorce in 2007, Testolini received a Toronto home in the settlement. It is unclear if it is the home that is on the market now

Large bedrooms in the one-story home feature windows looking out into the home's backyard, as well as several sitting areas
The records also show that Prince locked Testolini out of their home in Chanhassen, Minnesota, which was not at his Paisley Park recording complex, in May 2005.
Prince and Testolini met when she was a consultant for his charity, Love 4 One Another, the documents showed.
They married on Christmas Day in 2001. The couple's divorce was granted in 2007.
Two years after their divorce, Testolini claimed Prince had not returned several personal items, including copies of videos he made based on two songs he had written for her.
He also had not returned jewelry, including a Tiffany gold and diamond earring set, as well as photographs, memorabilia and scrapbooks. The items were valued at $185,000.
Prince was representing himself at that time and did not respond to the court.
The musician was previously married to backup dancer Mayte Garcia.
Also in the home is an exercise room that has several weight machines, a television, and what appears to be a sauna room
What appears to be the master bedroom in the home features a large tub, a stand-up shower, two sinks and plenty of storage space
The backyard of the home is spacious, with a seating area, plenty of greenery and an in-ground swimming pool and lounge area
