House of the week: $12 million worth of charm in Forest Hill

THE ENTERTAINER

ADDRESS: 36 Forest Hill Road NEIGHBOURHOOD: Casa Loma AGENT: Howard Mark Biderman, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd. PRICE: $12 million THE PLACE: Part of the Rogers family’s real estate holdings, this sprawling brick mansion has enough party-friendly permutations of gardens, rooms and patios to make Gatsby gasp. A 2008 renovation added modern features—exercise room, glass front door, gas fireplace, domed ceiling—but this is a property for party lovers who get a contact high from expensive antiques, crystal chandeliers, flawless landscaping and ornate mouldings.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: Neighbours include Nelly Furtado and Drake; it’s possible that the 1,000 square foot pool house could lure them to parties at the house. BIG SELLING POINT: The master suite, which is the size of a CityPlace penthouse, comes complete with his and hers walk-in closets, a nine-piece ensuite bathroom, fireplace and French doors overlooking the gardens. POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Environmentalists will not love the automatic snow-melting driveway (but everyone else will).

POSH BY THE NUMBERS:

• 9,000 square feet (plus basement and pool house) • 9 fireplaces • 9 bathrooms • 8 parking spaces • 7 bedrooms • double lot • 1 wine cellar • 1 pool • 1 spa • 1 butler’s pantry • 1 pet shower • 1 dog run • 1 garage with elevator
