Multimillion-dollar Toronto mansion listed for sale for the first time ever
While 395 Markland Dr. looks a bit understated, don't let first impressions fool you. This Spanish Colonial-style mansion in Toronto is a true gem that's never been listed before this year.
Sitting on a massive 56 by 355-foot ravine lot, this mansion has all the makings of a majestic home.
Set far back from the road, the long cobblestone driveway, complete with a water fountain, leads you to the white stucco house with arched doorways.
As you enter the home, you're in a grand foyer with soaring ceilings, Spanish tiles, tons of natural light, and an iron curved staircase.
There's even a small fountain just to really make the entrance a showstopper.
The main floor has all the principal rooms as well as a ground-floor in-law suite.
The great room is a sight to behold with double-storey ceilings, exposed wood beams and a Juliette balcony perfect for grand speaches or kids to put on a play.
There's also a solarium on the main floor, which leads into the indoor pool and sauna.
The other rooms in the house, although mostly empty and devoid of furnishings, give the impression they were once fabulous.
For example, there's silver-gilt wallpaper in the dining room, ornate fireplaces, crown moulding, beautiful crystal chandielers, and more.
The home boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
The bathrooms are very Art Deco with shiny marble and gold accents.
The gold swan bath faucet is a nice touch.
There's more living space in the basement with a great big recreation room.
And as for outdoor space, 395 Markland Dr. is spoiled as it is the largest ravine lot in the neighbourhood.
The backyard also has direct access to the Etobicoke Creek, the path system, and Markland Wood Private Golf Course.
But right now, 395 Markland Dr. needs some major TLC to bring it back to its former glory, which might explain why it's had a bit of trouble selling.
395 Markland Dr. has been on and off the market since February, slowly dropping from $2,698,000 to its current price of $2,675,000.
