The front door leads right into the dining room. There are 10-foot ceilings on the main floor along with white oak engineered hardwood herringbone flooring.

Here’s another view of the dining room. It has wainscoting trim on the walls plus decorative moulding. There are built-in speakers wired throughout the house.

Just beyond the dining room is the kitchen, with Calcutta marble all over, a wine fridge and an 11-foot island.

This view highlights the six-burner gas stove, the camouflaged fridge and the wall oven, all by Fisher and Paykel.

The living area features a gas fireplace with marble surround. That plant on the right helps conceal a hidden closet.

Residents can access the backyard from here as well.

Also on the main floor is this moody powder room. It has a stone sink and a wall-mounted faucet.

There are three bedrooms on the second floor.

Here’s the first bedroom, which overlooks the backyard and shares an ensuite bathroom with another bedroom.

The connecting bathroom has a double vanity plus a tub with a porcelain surround.

The adjoining bedroom is currently set up as an office.

The third bedroom has its own ensuite and bay window with a view of the neighbourhood.

Here’s that ensuite, featuring a walk-in glass shower with a rainfall head.

The entire third floor is dedicated to the main suite. The space in the foreground is an open wardrobe.

The main bedroom comes with a wooden feature wall with built-in side tables, an electric fireplace, built-in cabinets and a walkout to a private balcony.

The balcony at dusk. Its frosted-glass railings offer a bit of privacy.

The main ensuite is decked out in marble. It has a custom double vanity, a soaker tub and heated floors.

Meanwhile, the basement has one bedroom, one bathroom and this rec room with a wet bar. That door at the far end exits to the front yard, so the space can also work as a nanny or in-law suite.

The home has three separate HVAC zones, so temperatures for the basement bedroom can be set independently.

This is the basement bathroom.

Here’s a look at the limestone back patio at night.

And this view showcases the garage. Accessible from the yard and the laneway, the built-from-scratch structure can fit two cars and is lit by chandelier.
