The place

Located on the outskirts of Toronto, an opulent new build with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a bevy of luxurious features, including a home theatre and sauna.

The history

The previous owner, a carpenter for a prominent interior design firm, completely rebuilt this home from the ground up. There are luxe finishes throughout, like custom-panelled walnut walls and coffered ceilings.

The foyer has porcelain floors:

Along with a floating walnut shelf:

In the living room, there’s white oak flooring, pot lights and an ethanol fireplace in a marble enclosure:

Big selling point

This place is basically its own city, with a home gym, sound-proofed music room and a wine cellar. It also has a lovely main floor, with warm wood finishes that complement all of its modern features.

Possible deal-breaker

Potential buyers who work downtown would have to steel themselves for the maddening morning commutes on the Gardiner. The house does have three parking spots, though, which should provide a bit of solace.
