House of the Week: a $14-million, Versailles-like estate in the Bridle Path that’s up for auction

House of the Week: 40 Park Lane Circle

Address: 40 Park Lane Circle
Neighbourhood: Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills
Agent: Concierge Auctions in conjunction with Barry Cohen, Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: Depends. It’s due to be sold at auction on November 26. The last list price was $23,000,000, but the house is currently on MLS for $13,980,000.

The Place: A not-quite-finished, Louis XIV-inspired compound in the Bridle Path that will be sold at auction on November 26 (register to bid here). 

Bragging Rights: If the Versailles of Vaughan didn’t impress you, this place may just do the trick. With indoor and outdoor pools, a tennis court, a grand ballroom, eight bedrooms, fourteen bathrooms and a theatre, this house personifies opulence.

Big Selling Point: A ton of room. The house is on 2.4 acres of land and has 27,000 square feet of indoor space.

Possible Deal Breaker: For all its grandeur, this Xanadu isn’t actually finished. Given that you’re going to have to endure some construction, you may prefer to start from scratch (and a similar-sized plot nearby is priced at a mere $8.75 million).

By the Numbers:
• Previously offered at $23,000,000
• 27,000 square feet
• 30-foot-tall Corinthian columns
• 14 bathrooms
• 8 bedrooms
• 2.4 acres
• 2-storey front foyer
• 1 set of architectural drawings available

  2. It’s not the landscaping that’s the real problem, it’s the architecture: that’s just about the most ostentatiously vile front wall in the whole city. Ungainly and unbalanced, its bizarrely squared off roofline looks like the false fronts of a old Wild West townscape, now updated for the insecure vulgarian trying to buy their way to some delusion of respectability. Totally grotesque.

  3. $14 Million is a high price – But then again all houses on The Bridge path, Toronto start at 7$ Million.
    Architecture of this house is rather strange I agree, Not the modern chic look but more of an older style palace.

    But then again if your looking for a chic look you can always get a condo in downtown toronto for almost over $20million. Talk about high end Toronto real estate.
