Truly a one of a kind home built by renowned builder/designer Ferris Rafauli of Grandeur Homes.  This home was crafted for the very discerning buyer who embraces luxury yet also desires a manageable sized home and desires main floor living.   Ferris has a no-comprise policy on his quality and his standards are well above even the typical better quality builder.

The stunning elevations of of the home are French inspired and every detail has been carefully selected from the fully custom 10 ft Authentic true divided windows to the custom forged wrought iron work.  Accentuation has been done with copper 2 domes, the downspouts and the dormers as well as custom conductor boxes and copper fascia. 

The spectacular 2 ¼ inch Mahogany wood and wrought iron front door sets the tone of luxury that is immediately felt upon entering the home.  A grand foyer featuring a beautiful dome and plaster moulding detail with a central hanging crystal chandelier and a large classical designed recessed mirror.  The flooring is 12 x 24 marble and is laid in a herringbone design.  The foyer opens to the grand dining room with ample space for a table setting of 14, large artwork, scones, and multiple furniture pieces. 

All cabinetry in the home has been designed and built by highly acclaimed Downsview Kitchens and is the best of what they offer, so much so that the kitchen in this home is the centerpiece of their 2011 global marketing campaign.
