Designed by award winning architect, Robert Mellin, this multi-level home integrates signature features of the original Churchill Square into a remarkably livable, contemporary home. On a beautifully landscaped oversized lot, it is within walking distance of schools, the university, shops and parks. The main floor is an open concept “L” featuring a study, living room/library with floor to ceiling bookshelves, vaulted ceilings and one of two artisan-built Rumford fireplaces. A dining room, kitchen and family room with fireplace comprises the second wing. Nestled into the L is a SW facing cedar deck, seamlessly integrated with the home via 3 sets of double French doors. Exceptional natural light and surrounding mature trees and gardens make this home a spectacular urban enclave that could be anywhere. A custom kitchen features a 14’ granite island, Viking gas range, wine fridges and stainless-steel appliances. A large walk-through pantry with stainless steel counters, a second sink and dishwasher, and floor to ceiling cabinets make this an ideal home for entertaining. A magnificent connecting feature is a custom steel staircase spanning all four levels. The walkout basement has in-floor heating, a large rec room, a spacious mirrored fitness room with its own shower and sauna, and a wine cellar. Wide stonework stairs connect the twin basement doors to a beautifully curated garden. The home’s four bedrooms each have bathrooms/ensuites with custom showers and labradorite countertops. These include a ground level guest suite with its own private deck and entrance, and three upper-level bedrooms including a large beautifully appointed master suite. The home is heated and air-conditioned by two geothermal heat pumps. The built-in sound system features two surround sound areas and speakers and wall controllers throughout the home.
