The place

A newly built six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion with a wine cellar, a finished basement and a fully insulated underground garage. Constructed by JMG Custom Homes, the place is a 10-minute walk from downtown King City and a short drive from the area’s many farms and stables. Realtors Tara McCarthy and Niusha Walker say it’s ideal for a multi-generational family with a taste for luxury.

The tour

One hundred feet of heated driveway (no shovelling required) give way to the glass and stone façade. The manicured front yard, meanwhile, is marked by oxer fencing—a nod to King City’s equestrian community.

The foyer features 22-foot ceilings, porcelain slab flooring and a glass-railed, LED-lit floating staircase.

A closer look reveals high-gloss cabinetry, a porcelain backsplash and countertop, Miele appliances, and a wine fridge hidden within the island. That stainless steel stove hood is custom-clad in wainscoting, and all the lighting is sourced from Eurofase.

The servery is attached to the open-concept space and comes with plenty of storage, a fridge and a dishwasher.

The basement, with its own entrance, is large enough to be a family unit.

There’s a kitchenette down here as well as a bathroom, a bedroom, a gym, a lounge and, yes, another fireplace.

Residents can admire the underground garage fishbowl-style from the kitchenette. The garage could be converted into more living space if future owners aren’t gearheads.
