Inside the home
This 1948 stone and brick house on a large Tutela Heights lot has been completely remade inside by its designer owner. The renovation is thorough and consistent from the entry foyer to the basement bar — herringbone hardwood floors, custom raised panel millwork, brass hardware, and high-end appliances at every turn. The kitchen is the functional centrepiece: a Wolf dual-fuel range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele coffee system, and a walnut island with an end-grain top built from over 1,600 individual pieces. The primary ensuite on the upper floor is equally detailed, with a freestanding tub, a full marble shower, heated floors, and a custom carved fireplace that divides the bathroom from the dressing area. The finished basement runs the full footprint and includes a custom walnut bar with wine fridge and granite counters, a home theatre lounge with a linear fireplace, and a separate bedroom with bathroom. The lot is estate-sized with mature trees and a rear yard that includes a fire pit area — hard to fully assess under winter snow.
