ADDRESS: 44 Belvedere Drive

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Oakville

AGENTS: Ruben Furtado, Rock Star Real Estate

PRICE: $5,280,000

THE PLACE: This glass and steel estate was designed by Guido Costantino, the firm behind restaurants Buca and Church Aperitivo Bar. Clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, modern landscaping and a monochromatic palette make this home a minimalist paradise.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The lighting, blinds and doorbell system all work on an integrated system accessed by smartphone, iPad or television, so technophobes ought to steer clear.

BY THE NUMBERS: • $5,280,000 • $28,000 in property taxes (2012) • 10,000 square feet of living space • 1,400-square-foot deck • 9 bathrooms • 5 bedrooms • 4-car garage • 3-level home cinema • 3 fireplaces • 1 swimming pool • 0.5-acre lot
