Description
Arguably one of Torontos most iconic estates, this French-style château is an extraordinary expression of European grandeur on a 3.12-acre double lot in the prestigious enclave of Bayview Ridge. Designed by renowned architect Gordon Ridgely, the residence commands unobstructed western views over the Rosedale Golf Club. Beyond the stately stone gates and circular drive, manicured gardens by Ron Holbrook frame a breathtaking setting featuring a negative-edge infinity pool, a reflecting pond with a stepped waterfall, tennis court, kitchen gardens, flagstone terraces, and a stone cabana. The striking façade spans nearly 150 feet, clad in Indiana buff limestone and rubble stone with Vermont unfaded green slate shingles and lead-coated copper details. An ivy-clad turret anchors the asymmetrical design, lending the home its signature silhouette. Inside, over 15,000 square feet of living space showcases Brazilian cherry wood floors with African wenge inlay, acid-etched antique Crema Marfil marble, coffered ceilings, Indiana limestone fireplaces, and solid North American cherry doors. Six principal bedrooms and two additional suites are complemented by ten baths and warm, richly detailed interiors. The main floor features an impressive library and office with wood-burning fireplace, a grand dining room with artisan-painted walls and ceilings, a conservatory beside the spacious family room, and a sunlit morning room perfect for coffee. Three staircases, including a hidden passage, lead to the lower level with a Bordeaux-inspired wine cellar, cigar room, gym, nanny suite with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a large recreation space. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a six-piece spa bathroom, dual dressing rooms, gas fireplace, and sweeping views. Each bedroom enjoys an ensuite bath and sitting area, blending luxury with practicality. This remarkable estate is a once-in-a-generation offering at once grand, intimate, and built to endure.
