Interior Features & Details

The interior of this property is spectacularly finished with custom-engineered walnut flooring installed in a herring bone pattern which are also heated throughout the entire home.

In the kitchen, there is a showpiece 10ft-long granite island that is finished with designer leather that offers vast counter space for cooking & entertaining.

Making world-class meals is easy with the energy-saving Miele appliances & Bertazoni gas oven that features a Gessi pot filler.

If you take the solid walnut stairs that were designed by Jouni Ostermaa of Osbre Ltd up to the second floor, you will be welcomed by a large landing with it's own seating area, access to the balcony & laundry room.


The master bedroom is truly a show-stopper that easily fits a king size bed, seating area + access to a private balcony that overlooks the backyard/pool.

If you make your way into the master ensuite bathroom, you will see a stunning 6ft-wide Geo bathtub along with a large glass-encased steam shower with 3 massage heads, mood lighting & 6 body jets.

Floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets welcome you into the walk-in closet which is paired with a walnut ladder that allows for easy access to the higher levels of the closet.

The three remaining bedrooms all offer generous space & feature their own ensuite bathrooms along with tree-covered views of the grounds.


Lower Level

After descending back down the walnut staircase, you will be invited to enjoy the recreation room, wine cellar, infrared sauna & gym that are all situated in the lower level.

The glass-encased wine cellar allows the bottles to appear suspended in the air while dividing the upper section of the lower level from the recreation room.

This lower level also features a kitchen & easy access to the 7000+ sq.ft of outdoor deck space in the backyard.


Outdoor Space

While the home itself is spectacular, the land it is situated on is also magnificent as the vast tree cover bordering the lot line offers a cottage-like feel while still being situated only 25 minutes from downtown.

The L-shaped pool is 11ft at it's deepest point but you can also swim laps in your 17ft-long resistance pool/spa that doubles as a large hot tub.

If you venture over to the cabana pool house, you will find a washroom, shower, changing room, seating area & rough-in for kitchen.


Rylie's Review

I have to say, this is one of the most well-crafted homes that I have seen for sale in Toronto.

The goal of the architect was to "invite nature in" and they executed on this perfectly by capturing the natural beauty of land with its gorgeous tree cover which can be seen from every room of the house.

Due to the property being situated on such a unique piece of land, it's hard to determine an exact sale price in current market conditions, however it does still seem priced a bit on the high-side as no other homes on Westmount Park have sold for over $4 million.

Will be sure to keep my eye on this one to see what happens over time :)
