Understated luxury and superior functionality rolled into one

Someone with a great taste for practical luxury just bought this 2013 detached two-storey family home perched strategically on a 29.5×124-foot lot on a tree-lined street in Altadore to accommodate east light in the morning and west light at night. It has hardwood flooring and nine-foot-high ceilings; two bedrooms downstairs and three upstairs (reached with a glass-railing staircase), with the master’s bedroom offering city views, a two-sided fireplace and a spa bath; an ultramodern dream kitchen with quartz counters, a centre island and Viking stainless appliances; and a media room, wet bar, four-piece bath, cold storage and in-floor heating on the lower level. There’s also a sound system inside and out, a video matrix, skylights, custom millwork, and a high-efficiency furnace; a professionally exposed aggregate and patio that leads to a big landscaped backyard; and a detached double garage.
