House of the Week: $2 million for a custom Etobicoke home with a staircase inspired by the Guggenheim
ADDRESS: 49 Eastglen Crescent
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Islington–City Centre West
AGENT: Svetlana Carlasuc, Century 21
PRICE: $2,000,000
THE PLACE: A house-flipping husband-and-wife team designed, built and lived in this custom home.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Grandiosity on a (sort of) budget. The curved staircase is modeled on the iconic one at the Guggenheim Museum, while the exterior evokes châteaux in the Loire Valley.
BIG SELLING POINT: With top-of-the-line Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, Indonesian Macassar ebony cabinets and high-gloss shelves (hand polished by a piano polisher), the modern kitchen has all the bells and whistles while still managing to remain inviting.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The space, especially the main entertaining area, is starkly black and white. Lest you feel like Dorothy stuck in Kansas, a paint job may be in order.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $2,000,000
• 5,000 square feet (including basement)
• 120-inch projector screen
• 9-foot ceilings in basement
• 6-seat cinema
• 5 bedrooms

Amazing and nice indeed. I wonder if they put there address as Etobicoke or just Toronto? I swear I am not a snub!!
Meh. Looks like very other infill house – French-chateau wannabe. Boring.
What a cold looking house. It’s definately not what you call a home.
looks more woodbridge than etobicoke to me… the staircase and built in espresso maker don’t add up to $2M…
excellent. was inside , respect to builder.. circumspect everything – radiant heated floors, concrete walls from top to bottom. can serve each room separately. Just amazing!!!
Unattractive and cold.
Amazing house! I googled the address and found that it actually has its own website – 49eastglen.com, with tons of info, photos and even videos. Its not all about the design but also what is hidden beneath the surface. Well done
All the haters, oh come on! Its not that bad…Where do YOU live ?
Lovely architecture. I agree, it is cold, but it is what you make it. Take for instance the horrid taste displayed in the house, from the bar stocking yellowtail and Glenfiddich to the painting displayed. No library, but a huge screen? Oh well. Who am I to judge,anyhow?
i drink far too much red wine for that main floor…
Love the black and white interior, the exterior…not so much.
Nice staircase, but the rest is too 80s in style for me. Too cold overall…
Can anyone please name the type of wood on the main floor?
It doesn’t look like a 2 million dollar house – you really can buy something more attractive for that amount of money. There is hardly a kitchen and the wood cupboards are very dark with not a very warming feel to the grain used. The house lot looks like any neighbourhood – not anything to fuss about.
too bad the quality was not maintained throughout the house.
i have seen better for less.
Too close too Fatso for me.
i like it bc its pretty lol
@June OMG, what a great comment!! As usual, I love the comments from Molly, the sarcastic goth chick who you love to hate! Great stuff Molly, keep it (and me) coming!
This house is way too white for me! It definitely feels cold and overpriced. It has a very outdated feel about it.
Are you the listing agent, Susan? That was just a little too pat…
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.
I am a Realtor, working in this immediate area.
I have to congratulate to the Realtors for the marketing tools they used to introduce this house to the public. The videos are amazing. Great work. knowing the location of the property, I would still price it bellow 2 mill.
If I need my wine chilled I’d just bring it over and leave in the living room. Too cold in there.
