Every part of this grand, two-storey residence was custom crafted with modern luxuries and materials.
The not yet 2-year-old structure was encased with a stone façade with Gothic-style, leaded windows and a solid front door.
Lavish features indoors consist of ten-foot ceilings, three gas fireplaces and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, along with heated floors in the basement and five of six bathrooms.
Guests can be entertained in the den, a dining room or a combined kitchen and fireside great room with stainless steel appliances, a granite-topped island and butler's quarters with a large pantry.
The breakfast area also has doors to a multi-tiered deck overlooking a side patio and secluded south-facing backyard.
At the top of the sky lit staircase, the upper landing leads to four bedrooms, which each have access to a bathroom. The master suite is the one with a fireplace, vaulted ceilings and two walk-in closets, plus double doors to a balcony.
The lower level houses a fireside recreation room with a walkout, a bedroom, office and sauna.
For added comfort and security, the house is set up with alarm, central vacuum and water softener systems, as well as indoor and outdoor speakers and interior access to the garage.
Amenities nearby include Hollywood Public School behind the property, and a park, subway station and Bayview Village Shopping Centre to the east on Bayview Avenue.
