| Extraordinary South Hill Landmark Residence. A rare offering of architectural brilliance and historic significance, this storybook red-brick estate was originally built in 1908 and is attributed as the early residence of Lawren Harris, celebrated founder of Canada's famed Group of Seven. Painstakingly rebuilt w/a full-scale reconstruction and rear addition in 2018, followed by an elevated design renovation in 2020 by Sherwood Homes and Connie Braemer Design, this property masterfully blends heritage charm w/modern luxury. Behind its romantic facade lies a sophisticated contemporary interior, curated with exceptional attention to detail. The dramatic foyer showcases a Nero Marquina and Oriental White marble checkered floor beneath a mirrored bronze ceiling, with Macassar ebony archways and custom aged-metal French doors. The living room offers a bespoke black metal fireplace with Nero Assoluto stone and custom window seating, while the jewel-like powder room is wrapped in Phillip Jeffries cork wallpaper. The chefs kitchen by Cando Woodworking features rift-cut ebony-stained oak cabinetry w/brass detailing, a custom metal hood, Belvedere quartzite counters, 10 foot sliding glass doors that connect seamlessly to the outdoors. Ebony-stained mahogany millwork and a sleek black metal mantel enrich the adjoining family room. The primary suite is a private retreat w/custom Sapele mahogany furnishings, a Noir St. Laurent marble fireplace, and a boutique-style walk-in closet. The ensuite is clad in Noir St. Laurent marble with a dramatic backlit feature wall, custom vanity, and integrated sinks. Outdoors, a spectacular acrylic and stainless-steel pool by Elite Pools anchors the private garden oasis, complemented by extensive cedar decking, multiple terraces, and retractable awnings. A heated driveway with custom pavers and illuminated walkway complete this world-class residence. This is more than a home, it is a South Hill landmark, where history, design, and luxury converge. |
