Richard's Notes

Breath taking.

I can see Scott Fitzgerald and his friends clinking on their champagne flutes in the backdrop of magnificent fireworks over the lake with downtown Toronto and the CN Tower in the faint distant.  Or Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing under the moonlight with a big band orchestra.

Double pie shape lots covering almost 2 acres with 220 lake frontage just off a huge terrace (close to 25,000 sq.ft.)  with professional landscape, in ground pool and Florentine Wrought Iron Street Lamps.  Custom built by local renowned builder, Royce Developments.  In my coverage throughout Southern Ontario with over $50 million in unique homes and estates, I have not seen one quite like this - perhaps not possible anymore with the ever increasing environmental control.

Sumptuous 9,000 sq. ft. of living space with 4 Bedrooms, Spa, Wine Cellar ... plus 5,000 sq. ft. in the basement with three additional bedrooms.
