Luxurious $14 million Toronto mansion comes with a 700-bottle wine cellar
You know those luxury home design company ads you get in the mail or see in magazines? The ones that are trying to convince you to hire them for your next big project even though you probably couldn't afford a cabinet knob from them, let alone a new kitchen? Yeah, those ones!
And do you ever wonder what houses they use in those glossy ads that make you drool over what could be? Well, I'm pretty sure 101 Dunloe Rd. in Toronto is their model home.
Nestled in the prestigious Forest Hill neighbourhood, this bespoke 2022 custom-built mansion was designed by architect Lorne Rose and looks like the epitome of those luxury designer home ads you see in magazines.
And apparently, the house wasn't luxurious enough in 2022, because the very next year, 101 Dunloe Rd. got a little extra work done. Now, the home is truly picture perfect with a blend of modern technology and timeless elegance.
As you approach the home, the Indiana limestone façade and grand covered front landing greet you with an air of opulence. And when you step inside, you're dazzled by soaring ceilings up to 25 feet high and oversized California-style windows and doors that bathe every corner of the home in natural light.
The attention to detail in this residence is pretty spectacular.
From the mahogany and triple-layered glass entrance doors to the exquisite Dolomite marble and white oak hardwoods throughout, 101 Dunloe Rd. hits all those luxury home must-haves.
On the main floor of the house you have all the principal rooms, which right now look comically large since there isn't a ton of furniture in them.
But the most covetable thing in this house, especially if you like to cook, is that it has not one but two kitchens. The kitchens come stacked with top-tier appliances like a Lacanche stove, which, if you know, you know.
So whether you're entertaining in the primary kitchen or preparing meals in the secondary kosher or butler's kitchen, each space offers functionality and luxury.
Speaking of entertaining, this house, according to the listing, was made for it.
There's a state-of-the-art media room featuring a built-in projector and Polk audio system, and the home also includes a 700-bottle Rosehill wine cellar, two beverage bars, and a luxurious wet bar in the "man cave" section.
For more practical purposes, 101 Dunloe Rd. offers five spacious bedroom suites, each with its own heated floor bathroom and customized wardrobe.
If you care about having a smart home, this house comes equipped with cutting-edge home automation and surveillance systems, all of which can be controlled via mobile devices.
But the luxury amenities don't stop there.
As listing agent Jane Zhang shares with blogTO that there are heated floors and snow-melting driveways, dual air conditioning systems, an elevator, two laundry rooms, e-car chargers and bike EV capabilities in the garage, and radiant heated flooring throughout the basement.
This home has truly been engineered for convenience and comfort.
The only part of the home that kind of falls short is the outdoor area.
Don't get me wrong; by normal standards, the backyard is great. There's a heated pool, outdoor kitchen, sound system, and integrated lighting – but it feels slightly cramped.
Maybe that's because the 7,629-square-foot house takes up most of the 55 by 120-foot lot, but for a luxury home like this, I would have assumed the backyard would have had some more lawn space.
101 Dunloe Rd. is listed for $13,990,000.
