The Estate

Elegance and fabulous living are at the heart of this spectacular château-inspired stone manor, set on 4 manicured acres. Two stone pillars herald the arrival to the property, which has been impressively landscaped to include three covered terraces, a stunning saltwater pool, an expansive irrigation system and completely private treed views.

The home achieves a poetic symmetry embodied through the repetition of design motifs. The double-height foyer is the first introduction to the understated elegance of this home. Every detail has been provided for, from elegant architectural touches to breathtaking, serene outdoor spaces.

The living room features a gas fireplace that double sides into the study, a beautiful raised entertainment platform set into a bay window, and fabulous natural light. The impressive study offers beautiful traditional details, from the large bay window overlooking the backyard to built-in bookshelves flanking the gas fireplace. Sophisticated exposed-wood coffered ceilings offset the beautiful mahogany floors found throughout much of the main floor. The large dining room also has a feature fireplace and two sets of beautiful Palladian French doors are mirrored by large Palladian windows overlooking the gardens. There is a fabulous butler’s pantry that conjoins the dining room and the kitchen. This pantry offers a wet bar for serving, as well as a large wine fridge. The beautiful light-and-dark granite kitchen enjoys stunning sightlines through the full depth of the home. In addition to being open to the large breakfast room, the kitchen also opens to the wonderful conservatory. With soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, this dramatic room is the ultimate place for reading, or enjoying a coffee and conversation. It looks onto the fully private backyard, and accesses a gorgeous covered terrace. The convenient access to three extraordinary covered terraces ensures a great flow between indoor and outdoor living.

The beautiful family room is also open to the kitchen / breakfast room. There is also a second office in this part of the home. It also enjoys views of the backyard and pool, as well as lots of light. The ‘study area’ offers two built-in desks perfect for school homework. There is also a phenomenal mudroom with lots of organized storage and banquette seating on the main floor, as well as an elegant powder room. The mudroom offers direct access to the oversized triple garage.

The second floor offers well-sized bedrooms, spread out nicely for privacy. The hotel-like primary suite has tranquil views of the backyard, afforded via a beautiful bay window. Other details include a stylish vaulted ceiling, seating area and luxurious ensuite bathroom. With a large soaking tub offering views of the trees, two sinks, a separate vanity area, glass shower and a gas fireplace, this ensuite is over-the-top. The primary suite also has a large walk-in closet. There are four additional bedrooms on the second floor. Two of the bedrooms share an ensuite bathroom, and the other two share their own ensuite bathroom. The rooms are all spacious, with private views and lots of light. The two ensuite bathrooms offer granite counters and high-end finishes. There is also a great laundry room on the second floor, which is accessible via two separate staircases.

The basement of the home offers a sixth bedroom, with its own ensuite bathroom and natural light. Every amenity is accommodated for, from a large recreation room to a home theatre to a wonderful gym. There is even a powder room with two sinks in the basement, as well as lots of storage space.
