5 Canadian Homes With Spectacular Spa-Like Bathrooms

By Josh Sherman | 2 minute read

Fancy soaker tubs, luxurious rainforest showers, and lots of marble — no expenses are spared in these Canadian homes’ bathrooms.

Typically the smallest room in a house, when a bathroom is upgraded it can give a big boost to the price of a home.

In fact, a bathroom renovation can raise the value of a home by 16%, according to a report from Royal LePage. In terms of increasing a property’s value, that’s second only to the kitchen, which adds an extra 20% on average (and should come as no surprise when you check out these five Canadian homes with killer kitchens).

Although they may not rank as high as kitchens as a priority, clearly redone bathrooms are highly valued by homebuyers.

So whether you’re looking for some inspo for your next reno, or are simply curious to see how the other half lives (and bathes, evidently), here are five Canadian homes with spectacular spa-like bathrooms.

1. 1308 Montreal Ave., Calgary

The price: $10,000,000
The bathroom: An architectural gem by acclaimed Canadian designer Jeremy Sturgess, this home combines natural finishes and clean, contemporary lines.

The theme is continued throughout, including in the wood-treated Scandinavian-style bathrooms.

Behind a rustic sliding barn door, you’ll find a miniature movie theatre with Cineplex-style seating for seven.

2. 2906 Marquette St., Calgary

The price: $5,650,000
The basement: The basement in this 6,200-square foot home has heated floors, but we wouldn’t exactly call it cozy, often a real estate euphemism for small or worse yet, cramped. The spacious, mostly open-concept subterranean living space has an abundance of room for multiple uses, whether for a home gym, entertaining space — or both, as the current layout shows. It also contains a separate message room, including a sauna retreat.

The sunken patio, meanwhile, provides a super private space to enjoy the backyard away from the prying eyes of your neighbours.

3. 130 Riverview Dr., Toronto

The price: $13,350,000

The bathroom: Each of the four second-floor bedrooms in this modern masterpiece has its own ensuite — but none quite compares to the primary bedroom’s.

There, in the very centre of the marble-clad bathroom, you’ll find a spacious soaker tub. It’s surrounded by his and hers vanities, as well as two private bathroom stalls for complete privacy.

4. 171 Millwood Pkwy., Vaughan

The price: $4,199,000

The bathroom: Embrace your inner Victorian with the clawfoot bathtub in this extravagantly ornate-and-eclectic bathroom.

 While the bathtub has an antique vibe, the glass-and-tile walk-in shower is all modern. The quirky mix-and-match aesthetic carries on throughout the home, as evidenced by another (equally eclectic) secondary ensuite.

5. 3165 Dickinson Cres., West Vancouver

The price: $8,795,000

The bathroom: When you think of a room with a view, a bathroom probably isn’t the first thing to come to mind. But this West Vancouver meets California-style home’s primary bathroom has views for days.

Overlooking Burrard Inlet, it offers sweeping oceanfront vistas that would put most condos to shame. It’s also got viola marble counters and a stylish soaker.
