Chef D'œuvre Architectural Exquis Dans Un Environnement Luxuriant

Exceptionally custom designed in Forest Hill by one of Canada’s leading, award-winning architects, Siamak Hariri (Hariri Pontarini), engaged by the owners. This magnificent and custom-built home was a magical result of the brilliant collaboration between the genius of Hariri and his sophisticated and family-oriented clients. Total square footage is: 5,857 (4,287 square feet above ground) and there’s an elevator. Four plus one bedrooms and seven bathrooms (two baths lower level). Lot: see survey. Extra tall walls for their remarkable art collection had been a prerequisite, as were flexible multi-use rooms for visiting family and the two active professionals desiring quiet, beautiful spaces both inside and out. Private stone terraces in front and back, and cedar decks above overlook the mature trees and nature sanctuary surrounding the property. Yet, it’s close to Forest Hill Village shops, TTC, and ravine trails. Natural materials - Algonquin Limestone, Brazilian Cherry hardwood (Jatoba), rubble stone, mahogany doors and windows, and extensive use of copper, teak, and cedar - mix together beautifully in light-filled spaces throughout. Huge glass picture windows, full height sliding glass doors, and the surrounding tall trees outside are viewed everywhere in the home. The central three-storey atrium above the dining room is at the centre of the house, spilling light throughout the main floor and the centre of the second floor. All of these elements combine to exude warmth and comfort while being modern, clean, and sleek all at the same time. A magnificent garden was designed by renowned landscape architect Janet Rosenberg featuring cut stone limestone terraces and Owen Sound ledge rock including for the inspired central water feature sounding softly like a babbling brook. Everything has been meticulously maintained and cared for; like fine wine it proves to be more outstanding over time. A stunning and truly unique sanctuary at a brilliant city location!
