The place 

A five-bedroom, six-bathroom faux château in Mineola, one of Mississauga’s oldest neighbourhoods. Outside, there is room for 13 vehicles, a large stone patio and a swimming pool. Inside, there’s a sauna, a jumbo wine cellar and a full bar. It’s within walking distance of half a dozen parks, and motorists are a short drive from the QEW.

The history 

The house was constructed in 2006. It was designed with a mixture of old world (turrets), contemporary (heated floor, sparkling appliances and super-large window) and contemporary (two-story vaulted roofs). In 2021, current owners purchased the home and kept the majority of it intact. Now, they’re moving to a new kingdom and have listed the property.

The tour 

The custom double doors—flanked by doric columns—are solid wood.

In the foyer – 20-foot high ceilings and heated floors of limestone.

Next door, the dining room has a stained glass rose window, an above porthole window and heated floors.

This office is on the other side of the foyer. It is located in the turret and has floor-to ceiling cabinetry with a view of front yard.

The kitchen has a granite-topped island, limestone backsplashes as well as stainless steel appliances made by Wolf and Subzero.

Turn around and you’re in the casual dining area. The double french doors open onto the backyard patio.

Here’s the sunken family room, which has a bespoke gas fireplace and wall space for a 70-inch TV.

This is the sunroom with its 27-foot ceilings covered in cedar beams. Its wood-burning stove is made of reclaimed planks from barns.

Don’t forget the main-floor powder room.

The second-floor landing is a wrought-iron railing.

The main bedroom features 12-foot vaulted roofs, heated floors, and a private terrace.

A seven-piece bathroom is also attached. The floor tiles are glass accents inlaid into the limestone.

This funky granite rain shower is located opposite the tub.

Note the banquette and built-in storage in the kid’s room. Teddy not included in sale.

Another upstairs bedroom

Down in the basement, there’s enough space for a grand piano and a lounge as well as an adjacent fitness centre.

This space is ideal for screenings and has a full bar.

There’s also a massage room.

Another dramatic shower can be found in the basement.

The theatre room can be used as a virtual driving course.

The climate-controlled Wine Cellar is so large that you can easily get lost.

Here’s the eight-person sauna.

The house is dominated by a three-door garage, and there are 10 additional parking spaces in the driveway.

The stone deck is surrounded by lush greenery, and has granite counters as well as two grills.

Here’s a view of the home’s cozy firepit.

Lion-head water fountains bring a touch of elegance to pool parties.
