Description
World Class Landmark Architecture 全球地標性建筑典範 | 多倫多跑馬徑豪宅 An exceptionally rare landmark residence in Toronto’s most prestigious neighbourhood. Discreetly hidden behind lush landscaping and quietest section of the Bridle Path, you will have found this timeless world-class contemporary building. The internationally renowned architect, John C Parkin, successfully implemented his modern vision into this mid-century masterpiece. This home is exceptional in its construction, engineering, thought, detail, material selection and flow. The concrete walls, which are embedded with pink and white quartz stones, are a work of art in their own right. They become whiter and stronger with time. Parkin’s forward thinking brought to life these unique attributes: (1) integrated a beautiful concrete building into the 2.12-acre landscape, positioning south of Lawrence Avenue with less traffic and more privacy; (2) bathed the spaces in natural sunlight thanks to the central four-storey solarium space with massive skylights and enormous windows; and private indoor and outdoor pools (3) subtlety united two indoor garage facilities plus circular driveway with ample ground parking; and (4) created opulent spaces and casual intimate areas. Walk into the front entry, over the black granite clad interior ‘bridge’, and stand in awe with views over the soaring interior atrium. The spaces have been designed for both everyday family living and large-scale entertaining. Host a charitable event with hundreds of people – the 26,000 square feet of space across all levels can easily accommodate large gatherings. Have a live band at the base of the atrium or spend intimate time in numerous living areas or the zen meditation garden. Guests can choose a drink from the main floor wet bar before descending the elegant floating staircase to the lower level. Pass the atrium and enter the nearly 1700 square foot recreation room to play cards or billiards. An adjoining catering kitchen serves this area. A total of eight bedrooms. Five of these bedrooms are found on the upper level, along with two sitting areas. On a practical level, the lower level offers a house manager’s office and abundant storage space. The main level has a two bedroom and two-bathroom housekeeper’s suite. This space also makes a perfect guest suite for extended stay family and friends. An elevator accesses all three levels. 2.12 acres of rolling lawns, gardens, towering trees, lawns, terraces, and gardens. There is even a putting green. The land has been sculpted for privacy and allows for wonderful vistas from every window. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools. When standing in the breakfast area, the floor cantilevers over the indoor swimming pool and allows you to look through the massive wall of glass to the outdoor pool. Car collectors will treasure the 7-car heated garage facility. Drive in one door and out another. With its greenhouse window and epoxy coating, it’s unlike any garage you have ever seen. Without question, The Bridle Path is one of the country’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. Located on the coveted and very quiet section of High Point Road. It is close to some of the country’s top private schools, including Toronto French and Crescent. Private clubs such as The Granite Club. Shopping at Bayview Village Shopping Centre and CF Shops at Don Mills. 30 minutes to the international airport or to the financial district. It is so rare to have over 2 acres of land yet be so close to everything. You will appreciate the meticulous plans at every aspect of this modern wellness design. A statement for your family name stamp. A phenomenal estate to add to your life’s most valuable collections. The crown jewel of Canadian modern architecture!
