The home includes luxury finishes, such as marble floors, vaulted ceilings and a finished lower level with a full-sized squash court.
“Our home has been designed by Clive Grandfield, a renowned Canadian architect specializing in unique custom homes. All the windows in our home have been custom-built, and we have the comfort of radiant floor heating throughout the main floor, the basement level and all the bathrooms,” homeowner Marcel Algieri says.
“We get great use out of the squash court, which has a shock-absorbing, professional-grade floor, as well as the outdoor pool, which has a nearby 800-square-foot guest house with radiant floor heating and an outdoor kitchen.”
Just down the street from the home is the Country Day School, a respected private school. Seneca College is also nearby, with its cross-country paths and hiking facilities, and there are many golf courses in the vicinity, Algieri adds.
About an hour’s drive to Toronto, the home also has easy access to Hwys. 400, 404 and 407.
“Rarely does a home come up for sale with this type of quality craftsmanship. From the cut stone on the façade, to flamed granite surrounding the pool, to the $1-million back- yard, this kind of property comes to market once in a lifetime,” listing agent Andrew Ipekian says. “Although large and with many highend finishes, the home is also very warm and inviting.”
