About this home

A private estate where the city disappears. Behind a gated, lantern-lit entry on one of London North's most coveted streets, where homes are held for decades and rarely come to market, sits a custom residence built to be lived in, not just admired.The real luxury is behind it. The lot backs onto protected conservation land, a private wall of forest at the end of the garden. Step through the rear doors and the city falls away. Step back inside and you're minutes from Masonville, St. Joseph's and London Health Sciences Centre. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks first: hand-laid walnut parquet in a Versailles pattern, coffered ceilings, full panel moulding, solid-core doors with real weight. It's the kind of detail you feel underfoot and overhead before you can name it. Formal living and dining rooms open beneath soaring arched doors and twin fireplaces, the forest framed in every window. A Wolf-equipped kitchen and full servery make hosting effortless.The main-floor primary is a true sanctuary, with garden doors to the grounds, a marble-inlaid ensuite, and a dressing room finished like a private atelier. Upstairs are a loft retreat and two generous bedrooms. Below are two more bedrooms and a flexible space for guests or extended family, with a walk-up to the triple garage.Outside, a covered porch and two-tiered garden are made for long evenings in complete privacy. Over 5,600 square feet of finished living. Prestige at the gate, stillness at the treeline. On a street like this, the door doesn't open often.
