Steps from the beach, this Arts and Crafts-style house is located on a charming cul-de-sac just south of Queen St. E. The two-storey home has been designed with hints of Japanese influences, and is adorned with high-end finishes (and materials) like beamed ceilings, quarter sawn oak floors, mahogany doors, marble, granite and limestone.
The 50-by-130 foot leafy backyard is one of the house’s major selling points.
At more than 5,000 square feet of space (including the basement), the four-bedroom, five-bathroom house is perfect for those with a flair for entertaining. The large, lower-level home movie theatre has its own 100’ projector screen. With the exercise and recreation room beside it. Plus the chef’s kitchen, separate wet bar and spacious dining area on the main floor mean dinner parties will be able to accommodate more than a few guests.
The raised onsen tub sets the theme of Japanese influences that resonates throughout the house.
Upstairs in the master suite, a built-in screen divider is all that stands between the bed and the room's raised onsen tub (Japanese for hot springs), set in marble. Although the bedroom also comes with a walk-in closet and bathroom with five-piece en suite.
The Japanese influence reaches a pinnacle with the secluded tea house.
As inviting as this home's interior may be, future owners will still likely be spending a lot of their time outdoors, as its outside is just as alluring. The two patios at the front and back of the house, alongside the meticulously landscaped backyard garden make for a calm oasis. And the quaint Japanese tea house on the back of the 50-by-130 foot lot is an added bonus. Inside, a cozy nook, accessible only by ladder, hangs overtop of a well-lit sitting area. Completely separate from the rest of the home, but heated nonetheless, this appealing little hideaway can be enjoyed year-round.
