Renowned Ontario architect Mel Shakespeare designed this home, skillfully integrating two historic log homes to create an elegant residence that seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern luxuries. Even the positioning of the home was well thought out, strategically placing the home to have stunning views of the Toronto skyline.
As you step inside, you’ll be welcomed to a bright and welcoming kitchen and dining area that features warm pine flooring, brass accents, and natural wood beams that add to the home’s character.
The kitchen retains its historic charm through its original wood-burning stove, brick oven, exposed log walls, and hardwood floors. Blending modern elements, the kitchen has state-of-the-art cabinets, quartz countertops, a La Cornue oven, and a built-in Jenn-Air fridge and freezer.
Off to the side of the kitchen is a butler’s pantry with ample storage space, a wine fridge, and a beverage fridge. You’ll also find a cozy window seat and reading nook illuminated by unique windows.
The dining space that flows seamlessly from the open kitchen is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows that truly open up the space and allow for amazing views of nature.
The centerpiece of the living room is a Rumford-style fireplace that has been converted to gas for convenience.
On the main floor, you’ll also find a large laundry room that currently doubles as an office with built-in cabinetry.
There is also a secondary entry with a mudroom, a 2 piece bathroom, and a den that can serve as an additional office space.
Upstairs, the home boasts three large bedrooms, each equipped with its own fully updated ensuite bathroom. The primary suite features a generous walk-in closet, a spacious four-piece ensuite, and custom-built cabinets designed to optimize storage in underutilized areas—a common challenge with slanted ceilings.
The lower level has its own separate entrance and is fully finished with a rec room, a fourth bedroom, and a three-piece bathroom—perfect for guests or an in-law suite!
Outside, there is plenty of space for entertaining and hosting events, featuring well-manicured lawns and a fire pit perfect for relaxing and socializing.
Adjacent to the main house is a 2-car garage made from a third log house that includes a loft and basement perfect for those who value functionality and need ample storage solutions.
