ADDRESS: 60 Dunvegan Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Casa Loma
AGENT: Maurice Gherson, Forest Hill Real Estate Inc., Brokerage
PRICE: $6,295,000
THE PLACE: A red-brick Georgian mansion grand enough to stand out in a neighbourhood full of Georgian mansions.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: There’s a soda fountain and an ice cream bar in the games room, meaning you basically have your own Pop Tate’s Chok’lit Shoppe.
BIG SELLING POINT: The interior design covers just about every aesthetic era, so when you want to feel like a medieval English lord, you can retire to the wood-panelled study; when you want to feel like Delta Burke circa Designing Women, there’s the spectacularly ’80s front hall; and when you’re planning a Boogy Nights–style party, the glam, mirror-filled, ’70s basement room will surely do the trick.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: That said, having a faux leopard-print rug on the stairs might not be cruel to animals, but it’s cruel to anyone with a sense of style.
BY THE NUMBERS: • $6,295,000 • $31,046.86 (2011 taxes) • 8 bedrooms • 8 bathrooms • 4 fireplaces • 3 storeys • 2-car garage • 11-foot ceilings • 1 in-ground pool • 1 soda fountain • 1 circular driveway • 1 wine cellar
