Cruise down a private drive flanked by tall trees and curated lawns to a sophisticated residence offering privacy and luxury. A short walk from the conveniences of Yonge Street, life at 151 Centre St. feels a world away. 

Moments from five golf clubs, including Thornhill Club and Ladies Golf Club of Toronto, this prestigious Thornhill address is also a stone’s throw from several country clubs and rolling parklands.

Designed to mirror its tranquil surroundings, a natural stone facade paired with rich walnut accents balances elegant simplicity with modernity. The interior, with its many bright and open spaces, is a stunning example of contemporary architecture and has been showcased in several magazines.

Featuring seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a saltwater pool, 151 Centre St. is listed for $11,795,000.

Enter through the foyer to a raised open-concept social space. Tall ceilings, picture windows and sweeping naturally stained floors make for a bright and airy place to call home.

An inviting and spacious living and formal dining area provide a lovely spot for hosting holiday gatherings and dinner parties.

When hosting a crowd, the wide-open kitchen, breakfast and family room with backyard views is the place to be. An ultra-modern stone fireplace, soaring multi-level atrium ceiling and full-length sliding doors that open onto a poolside patio make this space a showstopper. 

Dark cabinets create a striking contrast against honey-toned floors, making for an elegant space. 

With endless storage options and countertops, this kitchen is ultra-practical. Built-in appliances include a double oven, wine fridge, two sinks and a top-of-the-line six-burner Wolf Range stove, among other culinary goodies.

Turning the kitchen corner, discover a neatly kept butler’s pantry that conveniently connects between the kitchen to the dining room. 

Take the stairs (or the elevator) to the upper level and discover a gallery-like atrium that overlooks the main floor and offers tons of natural light.

Seven sun-filled bedrooms span this home, including an accessible ground floor suite with a four-piece bath. Taking the crown, however, is the primary suite located on the second floor.

Cozy up next to the in-suite fireplace, unwind in the lavish ensuite bathroom, or enjoy a breath of fresh air on the private balcony. This generous space also includes a large dressing room.

The primary bathroom offers stylish amenities, including chevron heated floors, a freestanding slipper tub, and a walk-in double shower room.

The lower level is an entertainer’s delight. From shooting pool to kicking back and watching the big game with friends, the massive den offers plenty of space to explore hobbies. It also includes a fully equipped kitchen and a nanny suite.

With a private gym and home theatre on site, sneaking in an early morning exercise or an evening movie marathon will be easier than ever.

The backyard offers a peaceful and secluded spot surrounded by mature trees. A saltwater pool with crystal clear water and just the right amount of sun exposure makes for an inviting dip on a hot day. A patio-side sunken hot tub and dining cabana offer additional outdoor luxuries.
