At nearly 10,000 square feet, this opulent five-bedroom home has a bevy of luxurious features, including a movie theatre, elevator, aquarium, solarium and billiards room. It overlooks a ravine and has a “zen-inspired” design, according to the broker, with organic finishes and a natural colour scheme. Superhero fans take note: this place will be featured in the upcoming Netflix series Jupiter’s Legacy.
It’s a ground-up new build—the owners tore down the home that used to stand on this lot. They chose to keep the tree house and wood-burning oven from the previous owners, though.
As you enter the home, there’s a 22-foot foyer:

Beside the front entrance, a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows:

A rotunda breakfast area that overlooks the backyard:

More floor-to-ceiling windows in the great room, along with some really comfy-looking couches:

Here’s the dining room, which has its own fireplace:

An elevator, so that you can skip the stairs:

There’s plenty of natural light upstairs:

Here’s the dressing room, where there might actually be enough space for your outsize wardrobe:

And the bathroom:

Beside the master suite, there’s a solarium that connects to a big balcony:

You can get the full zen experience on the balcony, which features artificial turf, some rocks, and a private hot tub:

On the lower level, a billiards room:

There’s also a wet bar:

The basement theatre, where homeowners will presumably watch Jupiter’s Legacy on repeat:

The downstairs bathroom:

In the backyard, a swimming pool and water fountain. If you look close enough, you’ll notice the treehouse:

The extravagant design, along with awesome features like the pool and elevator, would tickle any big spender’s fancy. But if those aren’t enough (because you’re the offspring of a Russian oligarch or something), then there’s always that ravine lot. It’s a serene setting for nature-lovers, and if golf is your game, the property backs onto the Rosedale Golf Club.
That $10-million price tag could be a sticking point for some would-be buyers. Plus the grounds are extensive and will require a lot of upkeep, so you’ll probably need to hire a good landscaping crew. You’ll also be cleaning fallen leaves from the pool on a regular basis, since it’s a heavily treed ravine property (though the pool’s automated cover will help).
