House of the Week: $3.5 million for a Provençal-inspired home nestled in Gordon Woods

BRAGGING RIGHTS: Equipped with the latest in entertaining extras, this home is all about the spectacle—there’s even a wine cave that can house up to 3,000 bottles of vintage vino. Rounding out the amenities are a tennis court, two pools, a gym, a bar and a games room that will make you feel like you’re in the hull of the Belafonte.

BIG SELLING POINT: The place is move-in ready after undergoing $500,000 worth of upgrades since 2004, both inside and out.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Despite being close to Hurontario, the QEW and the Queensway, commuting into the city will be a nightmare (but the opposite is true for weekends—the home is steps from the Credit River, Mississauga Golf and Country Club and Port Credit’s trendy restaurants and boutiques).

BY THE NUMBERS: • $3,499,000 • $34,000 in property taxes • 10,500 finished square feet • 3,000-bottle wine cellar • 7 bathrooms • 5 bedrooms • 3-car garage • 1.25-acre lot • 1 indoor pool and Swedish sauna spa • 1 tennis court • 1 Gunite Betz outdoor pool • 1 set of automatic gates
