“I was a bit nervous bringing such a grand house to market just before the holidays… but the house sold in two days,” says listing agent Kaija Pitt. It sold for $5 million, which is 98 per cent of the asking price.

The owners had renovated, restored and modernized the house, she says. “One of the major things they did was remove all of the stucco on the entire house and garage. They added two giant columns to the front of the house and the windows were restored and some replaced.”

Work also included restoring three woodburning fireplaces and undertaking a major renovation of the eatin kitchen. The ultra modern design was created by architect Ian Macdonald.

The house and garage have new copper eaves and downspouts, and slate roofs. The renovated children’s bedrooms share a bathroom.

Spacious principle rooms include a library and family room. A wall-to-wall fireplace and a walkout to the garden grace the living room. The main-floor family room also has a walkout to the garden.

The main bedroom suite has a wall-to-wall fireplace, a walk-in closet and a fivepiece ensuite. An appreciated feature is a second-floor office with a balcony.

The lower level has high ceilings and radiant floors. It has a media room, a sauna and a mudroom with a walkout.

The one-third acre property has a two-car garage and a swimming pool, as well as park and city views, Pitt says. Private roads, grounds and a tennis court are features of the posh pocket.

“I had a good feeling when the buyer stood in the living room and said to his agent and wife, ‘Where can you live in the middle of the city and have a view of a pond? Wychwood Park’,” she says. “This is an incredible house and I am thrilled for the new family.”
