A newly built Georgian-style house with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms in Toronto’s Rosedale neighbourhood.
Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Johnson and Daniel Division (James Strathy Warren)
With 11-foot ceilings, the main floor features large principal rooms with dark-stained floors of quarter-sawn white oak. A library is panelled in mahogany, and has a coffered ceiling. A dramatic reverse staircase ascends from a centre hall.
At the rear is an open-concept space comprising the kitchen, family room and eating area, with doors opening to the garden. The countertops in the kitchen, wet bar and pantry are fashioned from Calacutta honed marble.
Some areas of the house feature heated stone floors.
A state-of-the-art system controls temperature, security and lighting. The house also contains Category 5 wiring and structured cable for high-speed internet, television and communication services.
Upstairs, mahogany doors lead into the master suite, where French doors open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. A dressing room is lined with hand-crafted closets and includes a flat-screen TV. The ensuite bathroom has a separate water closet, cast-iron tub and honed marble flooring with in-floor radiant heating.
The two other bedrooms on the second floor have ensuite bathrooms. Located on the third floor are a bedroom and bathroom as well as a games room.
On the lower level, an “infinity” swimming pool is surrounded by limestone and enclosed in glass. A media room has built-in surround sound and a gas fireplace. Adjoining an exercise area is a bathroom with limestone floors and walls, as well as a steam shower.
A climate-controlled wine cellar is constructed of reclaimed brick and lined with Douglas fir wine caskets that accommodate 500 bottles.
Outside, the landscaped property includes a very private stone terrace in the rear garden. A more functional element is an in-ground irrigation system. The exterior features copper trim and a cedar roof.
