Rarely does a home that perfectly blends timeless elegance with modern luxury come to market. Nestled in the highly sought-after community of Varsity Estates on a large corner lot surrounded by mature trees, this extraordinary residence was completely taken down to the studs and meticulously transformed into a true masterpiece. From the moment you arrive, the stunning curb appeal leaves a lasting impression. Showcasing a unique modern Victorian-inspired exterior, the home features elegant cream stucco paired with brick detailing and bold black accents, all complemented by an exposed concrete driveway leading to the double attached garage. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, a breathtaking central staircase, custom stained railings, and a striking modern chandelier immediately command attention, creating an unforgettable first impression. The grand foyer is further elevated by a thoughtfully designed mudroom with extensive custom storage and beautiful tilework. The spacious living room offers warmth and sophistication with an elegant fireplace, while the main floor is flooded with natural light and exceptional quietness thanks to triple-pane European tilt-and-turn windows throughout. Designed with entertaining in mind, the chef-inspired kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring stunning real oak cabinetry, a massive 14-foot island, gorgeous lighting and fully paneled high-end appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area is enhanced by a custom coffee bar and oversized windows overlooking the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living with direct access to the deck. A second expansive family room with custom built-ins and additional oversized windows continues the home’s impressive main floor layout. Completing this level is a spacious laundry and mudroom area, a sophisticated 2-piece powder room, and a stunning glass-enclosed office/den. Upstairs, the luxurious primary retreat offers a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired 5-piece ensu ite featuring dual vanities, heated floors, a freestanding soaker tub, a large custom shower, and abundant natural light. Two additional bedrooms and a beautifully finished shared 4-piece bathroom complete the upper level. The fully developed lower level is an entertainer’s dream, highlighted by an expansive recreation room with a custom entertainment feature wall, electric fireplace, wet bar, and games area. A fully customized glass-enclosed fitness room creates the ultimate at-home gym experience. This level also includes two spacious bedrooms — one with an oversized walk-in closet — and an additional 4-piece bathroom. The double attached garage is fully finished with epoxy flooring, a brand-new overhead door, and new garage motor. No detail was overlooked in this extensive renovation. An exceptional opportunity offering luxury, functionality, location, and incredible value — this is a home that must be experienced in person. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
