Neighbourhood: St. Andrew-Windfields Price: $29,800,000 Size: 20,000 square feet Bedrooms: 6+2 Bathrooms: 11 Real estate agent: Daniel Reihani and Barry Cohen, Barry Cohen Homes
A six-plus-two-bedroom, 11-bathroom behemoth sandwiched between Bayview and Leslie. The recently finished estate was inspired by various European schools of design and comes with heated marble floors, a cinema with reclining sofas and a main ensuite bathroom attached to dual walk-in closets. Residents are within walking distance of half a dozen parks, and motorists are a short drive from York Mills Shopping Centre, Don Valley Golf Course, and both the DVP and the 401.
This home’s seller, a developer, purchased the small detached that once stood on this lot in 2014. Designed by Richard Wengle and Flora Di Menna, the mega-mansion was completed two years later. All furnishings—including pieces by Christopher Guy—are negotiable with the sale.

A heated granite driveway flanked by trees leads to the front door.
Here’s the foyer, with 11-foot ceilings and bespoke carpets throughout. Much of the home is covered in sparkling heated marble floor tiles.
The office sits to the right of the entrance. It has automated blinds and custom cabinetry.
To the left of the entrance is the living room, which features a gas fireplace, the first of seven.
Moving along reveals the dining room.
A dramatic open ceiling points the way to the staircase. Its theatre-style lighting is a nice touch.
Atop the walkway is an eight-by-eight-foot skylight—probably the property’s most stunning feature.
Down the hall is the kitchen, equipped with under-lit storage galore, a quartz backsplash, a jumbo marble island and new Miele appliances.
Turn right and you’re in the breakfast area—a rotunda overlooking the pool. Those French doors lead to the home’s third dining space.
The third dining space comes with elegant accordion doors.
Here’s another view of the indoor-outdoor dining area, this time highlighting the 14-foot tray ceiling.
This is the family room (though you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a luxury cigar lounge).
The commercial-grade elevator connects all floors.
Now for the main suite, which takes up the entire west wing of the house, complete with a private balcony.
The ensuite bathroom is clad with even more marble. It also has twin vanities and a soaker tub.
Note the high-tech shower system.
This is one of the suite’s two walk-in closets.
And this is the other walk-in, just like a Yorkville boutique.
But wait, there’s more. The closet space just keeps going and going: a makeup station, more displays, and a kitchenette that’s loaded with an espresso machine, a dishwasher and a fridge.
Ten-foot ceilings crown the basement rec room.
As big as a bachelor pad, the basement bar comes with a backlit quartz backsplash and temperature-controlled wine fridges on either side.
There’s plenty of space for fitness with friends in the basement gym.
Then there’s the hotel-like full spa.
Here’s a peek inside the sauna.
The cinema has tiered seating lined with reclining sofas.
Here’s a look at the backyard pool house. Great for hosting, it can also serve as a guest house.
Lastly, the huge underground garage comfortably fits 12 Ferraris—or whichever brand of luxury car future residents prefer.
