Location: Caledon Agents: Nat Grillo, Properly Price: $2,499,900 Size: 3,500 square feet Bedrooms: 3+2 Bathrooms: 3


The place

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom house in Caledon with a quirky design. It sits on a seven-acre lot that backs onto the Albion Hills Conservation Area, with direct access to the region’s mountain biking and cross-country ski trails. Several exclusive golf clubs are also a short drive away.

The history

The original owners built this home from scratch in 1971. Fascinated by the idea of the circle in Renaissance art, they loaded their house with rounded walls and edges. The current owners acquired the place in 2018 and conducted a full renovation to add contemporary appliances and design throughout. They also built a pool out back. The owners are now downsizing and putting the property up for sale.
