The place

A 10,000-square-foot home in Lawrence Park. The eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom house has chic interior design and a resort-like backyard.

The history

In 2015, the sellers bought the property for $2.5 million, when a 1950s colonial-style house sat on the lot. After living there for a short period, they tore the original place down and hired Toronto architect Richard Wengle to design a family-sized contemporary home. It was finished in 2017. The main floor of the new house is nearly 2,800 square feet, with an open-concept kitchen/family room.

The foyer has marble floors:
