property-description

Forget everything you think you know about modern homes. This isn't just a house, it's an award- winning masterpiece, where jaw-dropping style meets intelligent functionality. Thoughtfully designed by renowned architect Andrew King, step inside & prepare yourself. Imagine a home that floats above the landscape, bathed in city light. Walls of glass reveal a breathtaking connection with nature, all from within a soaring, open living space. Details include: exposed steel i-beams, architectural cantilevers, maintenance-free exterior, & a control-from-anywhere home automation system. Throughout the entire home, central AC & in-floor heat provide year-round comfort. In the living room, a welcoming eco-friendly fireplace & floor-to-ceiling window create a perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine & a book. Stepping up to the main living area, you'll notice concrete floors that flow seamlessly from the modern chef's kitchen (complete with Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances) all the way to the family room. A large centre island provides ample seating & transitions effortlessly into the formal dining area; perfect for entertaining family & friends. The spacious family room, surrounded by more expansive windows, offers easy access to the backyard. Open-riser stairs with glass rails ascend to the 2nd floor, where you'll find a versatile loft space bathed in natural light, ideal as a workspace or library. A long corridor unfolds, leading you to a serene primary retreat. This expansive room easily accommodates a massive bed & sitting area, all while highlighting stunning views of downtown. Prepare to be dazzled by a master closet, unlike any other. Spanning the entire length of the corridor & flanking both sides, guiding you towards your luxurious 6pc ensuite with gleaming tile floors, his/her sinks, a grand glass-enclosed shower, & a jetted tub. Also located in the master suite, a ceiling access panel provides access to the roof for a potential rooftop patio. For art enthusiasts, a spacious hallway provides the perfect canvas to arrange & display your favourite pieces. The 2nd floor also boasts a second bedroom with a private 3pc bath. The lower level is equally impressive mirroring the high standards of the rest of the house with 9’ ceilings, an extensive rec/theatre room, wet bar, & a full bathroom. The space easily accommodates a home gym or studio, and leads to a 3rd bedroom. The south facing backyard offers an unparalleled expanse of green space, rare for the inner-city, while three expansive patio spaces provide the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining friends. In addition, a powerful overhead gas heater extends the enjoyment of your patio year-round. A heated double detached garage with room for a workshop, completes the picture. Imagine stepping outside your door and being 7 minute walk from the heart of the city. This property, ideally situated represents the pinnacle of refined living where abundant dining options, dog parks, tennis courts, and views surround you.
