Description
Homewood emerges as a quintessential representation of American colonial revival architecture, with its origins tracing back to 1899. This extraordinary estate ranks among the most esteemed century-old residences in Ontario, set upon a magnificent 1.28-acre expanse of park-like grounds, gracefully enveloped by majestic 10-foot hedges. Every detail of this splendid home has been painstakingly restored to honor its rich heritage, with no expense spared in the process. The current proprietors have carefully selected the finest materials and finishes from both the United States and Europe, artfully modernizing Homewood to align with their vision of opulent and refined living. The property boasts expansive principal rooms embellished with exquisite Arts and Crafts detailing, including one of the largest and best-preserved original Butler's pantries. With 7 functional fireplaces (4coal and 3wood-burning), the atmosphere is both inviting and warm. The lavish master suite features a grand dressing room and an ensuite bath adorned with exquisite fixtures from Ginger's Bath and Waterworks. Elegant marble bathrooms, cedar closet, and a stunning custom kitchen equipped with heated marble floors, ten premium appliances, sleek marble and soapstone countertops elevate the living experience. A third-level galley kitchen has been thoughtfully integrated into the media room, offering versatility as an in-law suite or children's playroom. Homewood is outfitted with 400 amp service, a finished basement that houses a luxurious tranquility spa complete with a mini in-ground pool, steam shower with aromatherapy, dry sauna, and a dedicated massage or mani/pedi area.
