I have listed a new property at 221 Forest Hill Road in Toronto. See details here
Welcome to 221 Forest Hill Road, an architectural triumph with nearly 13,000 sq ft of living space on a private 17,000 sq ft lot, nestled along the Beltline Trail in the heart of one of Toronto's most exclusive enclaves. This estate represents the pinnacle of bespoke luxury, meticulously brought to life by the city's finest: JTF Homes, Lorne Rose Architect, and Dvira Interiors. Clad in hand-selected limestone and inspired by the romance of the French countryside, the residence evokes the timeless elegance of a Provencal chateau. Arched windows with weathered-blue shutters, a stately turret, and a gracefully symmetrical facade create a striking first impression. A dramatic arcaded loggia opens onto manicured grounds and landscaping imagined by Fitzgerald and Roderick, featuring a lap pool, sports court, and lavish gardens that offer privacy and tranquility. The interiors are nothing short of breathtaking curated blend of old-world grandeur and modern refinement. The main level features soaring ceilings and a dramatic spiral staircase. Chevron-patterned white oak floors, arched passages, imported wallpaper, and tailored lighting reflect impeccable attention to detail. The formal dining room (seating 20) flows effortlessly into a statement kitchen adorned with hand-painted Portuguese tiles and custom cabinetry by Emanuele Furniture Design. The sunlit family room is anchored by a hand-carved fireplace and opens onto the gardens through elegant French doors. The crown jewel is the primary suite, a true sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, whimsical wallpaper, arched detailing, and a fireside lounge that creates a retreat-like atmosphere. The piece de resistance: a couture-inspired, two-storey dressing room with a spiral staircase and chandelier, paired with a spa-like ensuite clad in expansive stone and Shirley Wagner fixtures. The lower level features a sprawling rec room, games lounge, prep kitchen, gym, cedar sauna, and a home theatre for the ultimate cinematic escape.
