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 sp acious 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. (id:22211)
