ADDRESS: Pheasant Lane
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Princess-Rosethorn
AGENT: Robert Douglas Pettigrew & Clare Estlick, Re/Max Professionals Inc., Brokerage
PRICE: $3,500,000
THE PLACE: Near the St. George’s Golf and Country Club and nestled in the winding streets of the city’s northwest end, this family home built by David Small Designs is a mix of old and new: the stone exterior belies a modern interior that includes American white oak floors, stark white walls, multiple fireplaces and stainless steel appliances from Miele and Wolf.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The perfect upscale family home. Almost every bedroom has its own bathroom, the house is divided nicely between adult-friendly and child-friendly spaces and there’s even a mini-playground in the backyard.
BIG SELLING POINT: With an emerald quartz kitchen island, a fireplace in the master bedroom, cathedral-style ceilings, custom iron railings and expansive skylights, this home could easily sell for much more in Forest Hill, Rosedale or the Bridle Path.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The wallpaper in the guest bathroom is more than a little trippy. If you’re a Woodstock type (you know who we mean), enter with caution.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $3,500,000

If this home is not staged these are people who know how to get rid of the tacky and clutter to show a house. However, the entrance hall is downright cold and unwelcoming.

August 11, 2011 at 9:42 am | by Cosmo MannellaLOVE the lime green room! Such a fab colour for a basement. Makes it feel much more welcoming. Go figure this is the only thing TL could find wrong with the house. As others have noted – shame about the lack of a pool! otherwise very nice!
August 11, 2011 at 11:06 am | by GabrielleGorgeous home – I love lighter hardwood, dark is so overrated and difficult to clean. I’m sure the new owners can put in a new custom pool to their taste if they love the house.

August 11, 2011 at 11:37 am | by Karen BNice house – not sure if “trippy” is an adjective I’d want to use to describe the staircase…
