By Simone Olivero |
By Simone Olivero |
Address: 421 The Kingsway
Neighbourhood: Edenbridge – Humber Valley
Agent: Bev Jones and Steve Broadhurst. RE/MAX Professionals Inc., Brokerage
Price: $6,495,000
The Place: A modern four-bedroom home on a large lot that backs onto the fourth green of the storied St. George’s Golf and Country Club.
Bragging Rights: Not a typical McMansion, this contemporary house was custom designed by Altius Architecture Inc. and has industrial-inspired finishes like board-formed concrete and exposed metal beaming.
Big Selling Point: Don’t be fooled by the home’s urban feel—the sprawling backyard, which has a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit, offers all the perks of life in the ‘burbs.
Possible Deal Breaker: The purple statement wall that dominates the main floor may be too much for even the most ardent Prince fan.
By The Numbers:
• $6,495,000
• $29,856.71 in property taxes (2013)
• 8,000 square feet
• 6 bathrooms

• 3 fireplaces

The exterior of the house is great! The family room has a
gas fireplace, the master bedroom has a dressing room, so cool! The office is
also awesome. So much natural light! I like this place. We recently bought our
first house, it doesn’t have 3-car
garage, a swimming pool but neither its cost is $6,495,000. We couldn’t afford
such a luxury. We found it at http://ottawa-gatineau.localmartca.com/
and we both think it was a very good deal. It’s not some kind of advertising, I
just want to share with you this single moment of happiness. When you finally
have the place that you are not renting, that is yours! Wish everyone to feel
this pleasure.
