Custom built in 2000, this home was originally designed by architect Richard Wengle, says listing agent Robert Greenberg. “The current owners engaged Mr. Wengle to design the additions and renovations they have done.”
The home offers 5,686 square feet of clean, classic living space. For anyone who wants more space, there is potential for further extension, he says.
There is a newly renovated kitchen with Caesarstone counters/ backsplash. It is equipped with high- end stainless steel appliances to ease meal preparation for the family or large parties. The bright white kitchen has chandeliers that add a touch of sparkle, large windows and double french doors from the breakfast area to the backyard.
The stone-and-stucco home has a fireplace and a dropped ceiling in the living/ dining room and a family room with a vaulted ceiling and a fireplace.
The master suite shares the second floor with four bedrooms, one of which has a three-piece ensuite bathroom and another that has a sitting room that could be used as an office. The master suite has a walk-in closet and a six-piece ensuite bathroom.
A third- storey bedroom loft has its own balcony, skylight, ensuite bathroom and sitting area. “It’s perfect for a teenage child or as an inlaw suite,” says sales representative Andre Kutyan of the Greenberg team.
A custom wine cellar and tasting room on the lower level offers a fun space for guests to gather. The lower level also includes a recreation room with a gas fireplace and hardwood floors.
Other goodies include a home security system with an alarm, cameras and monitors, and a pair of central vacuum and central air conditioning systems. There are four fireplaces.
Windows throughout t he home offer views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. An irrigation system makes maintenance easier.
“Being located on a prominent corner in Forest Hill, the owner has paid particular attention to the beautiful landscaping,” Kutyan says.
Greenberg says the 45x140foot lot has “one of the most beautiful perennial gardens in the area and is a neighbourhood landmark.”
The property has a private double driveway that leads to a built-in two-car garage that has a workshop.
St. Michaels College School, the Cedarvale Ravine and shops and service on St. Clair Avenue West are nearby.
