The place

A four-plus-three-bedroom, five-bathroom detached in Mississauga East. The home comes with a three-car garage plus room for 12 more cars on the driveway. It’s a short drive from Pearson airport and a 30-minute haul downtown via the 427 and the QEW.

The history 

In 2017, a family bought the two-bedroom bungalow that once stood on this plot for $801,000. They partnered with Elan Design Studio and tore it down to build this new 7,800-square-foot house, inspired by the ski chalets of Mont-Tremblant.

The tour 

The façade is defined by its Douglas fir front porch. The door on the left leads to the mudroom and garage while the one on the right leads to the main home.

Inside, a skylight illuminates the foyer, which is lined with porcelain tiles.

To the right of the front door is the open-concept living and dining room, fitted with a porcelain-slab gas fireplace and recessed lighting.

The dining area comes with a coffered ceiling. Its current table seats 10, but there’s space for a larger one.

The family room features 18-foot ceilings with Douglas fir beams. The stone fireplace is equipped with a reclaimed-wood mantle—formerly a structural beam in the original bungalow. Then there’s the cantilevered staircase, with integrated lighting and glass railings.

In the kitchen: a quartz island and backsplash, integrated lighting, and storage galore. Those brass-handled bottom panels were designed to look like concrete.

Most of the appliances here—an induction cooktop with a vertical hood, two wall ovens and a built-in coffee maker—are Miele, except for the Thermador fridge.

This breakfast nook overlooks the backyard.

Also in the kitchen is this pantry, with lots of custom storage plus an extra freezer.

There’s also an office on the main floor, with bespoke walnut shelves.

This is the marine-themed powder room, with funky hexagonal tiles.

Now for that mudroom, which comes with lots of built-in storage and a comfy bench.

Across from the mudroom is the first of three laundry rooms.

Moving upstairs reveals the dramatic second-floor landing.

The main bedroom has a reclaimed wood feature wall, a three-sided gas fireplace and a walkout to a private balcony.

Here’s that private balcony—275 square feet, with glass railings and granite flooring. Squint and you can see the Marilyn Monroe towers in the distance.

The main ensuite comes with a double floating vanity, a glass steam shower, a soaker tub, a wall-hung toilet and heated floors.

The walk-in closet has a skylight and a quartz island.

Down the hall is this secondary bedroom, with designer wallpaper and a maple accent wall.

This is the shared bathroom, with a free-standing hot tub.

Here’s the second laundry room, on the upper floor, with a sink, quartz counters and a Miele washer and dryer (not pictured).

The basement has been fashioned as a rec room but could be converted into a separate rental unit. It has a walkout to a granite patio and a porcelain-slab gas fireplace.

Here’s a peek inside the kitchen, which is equipped with an induction cooktop (its exhaust vent pops out of the countertop behind it), an oven and a panel-covered Miele dishwasher.

The climate-controlled wine cellar has room for 75 bottles.

There’s also a gym down here, with LED-lit mirrors and acoustic walnut panels that absorb sound.

Here’s a view of the guest room.

Yes, that’s a floating tub in the basement bathroom.

The three-car garage has epoxy flooring, a bike hoist, a slatted wall for storage, a workbench and space to add a car hoist.

Hemlock and aluminum fencing adds privacy to the backyard.

Here’s the garden office, which uses the same design elements as the main house.

It comes with three tilt-and-turn European windows and a wooden feature wall.

The stone patio, with a louvred-roof pergola that adjusts for shade.

And here’s a final look at the rear of the home.
