Property Details

Perched on a ridge with panoramic east-to-west views and bordered by protected green space, this home offers architectural presence and privacy rarely found in the inner city. Rebuilt from the studs with nearly $3 million in upgrades—including all-new systems, Gaulhofer triple-pane windows, and structural reengineering—this residence blends comfort, precision, and refined minimalism. Smooth stucco, brick detail, and wood-look siding wrap the exterior in a warm, modern finish. Inside, a 19-foot foyer showcases the Apparatus Studio “Cloud” chandelier floating beneath an architectural window, setting the tone for the light-filled interior.

Living spaces flow around a dramatic climate-controlled glass wine cellar, with an Italian Pedini kitchen featuring integrated Miele appliances, a curved quartz island, Matthew McCormick lighting, and sleek, handle-free cabinetry. Finishes include Spanish hardwood flooring, Italian tile, and New Zealand wool carpet. A Control4 system manages lighting, blinds, audio, temperature, intercom, and security, with Bowers & Wilkins sound throughout. The main level includes a soundproof office with custom millwork, a designer powder room, and a laundry area with quartz surfaces and integrated storage. Upstairs, four bedrooms feature ensuites, walk-in closets, blackout blinds, and sweeping sunrise and sunset views. The primary suite includes a downtown-facing custom bed wall, double-sided fireplace, built-in wardrobe, and a spa-style ensuite with radiant quartz, a freestanding tub, “gold” European fixtures, and a Japanese-style smart toilet. The lower level adds a second wine cellar, wet bar, home theatre, gym, steam spa, and open rec space. With radon mitigation, water filtration, air purification, and fire suppression, this future-ready home offers peace of mind and one-of-a-kind design.
