Description

Welcome to 221 Forest Hill Road, an architectural masterpiece with nearly 13,000 sq ft of living space set on a private 17,000 sq ft lot (nearly half an acre), nestled along the Beltline Trail in the heart of one of Toronto's most exclusive enclaves. This estate represents the pinnacle of bespoke luxury, meticulously brought to life by some of Toronto's finest: Lorne Rose Architect, JTF Homes, Dvira Interiors, and Fitzgerald and Roderick Landscape Design. Clad in hand-selected limestone with slate and copper roofing, this residence evokes the timeless elegance of a Provençal château. The interiors are layered rather than loud, defined by chevron white oak floors, custom crown moulding, imported wallpaper, hand-carved mantels, tailored lighting, and generous rooms designed for real life. The kitchen is warm, detailed, and highly functional, with handmade Portuguese tile, millwork by Emanuele Furniture Design, marble counters, Miele appliances, and a charming breakfast nook. It connects naturally to the family room, where French doors open seamlessly onto the terrace. This is where mornings, after-school play, long dinners, and quiet weekends all make sense. The primary suite is one of the home's most memorable chapters. Vaulted ceilings, a fireside sitting room, arched detailing, and custom drapery create a private retreat. The upper levels unfold with generous bedrooms, thoughtful storage, dormer reading nooks, garden views, and spaces that feel personal rather than generic. The lower level adds another dimension to the home, with a large prep kitchen, recreation room, games area, gym, theatre, cedar infrared sauna, cabana storage complete with a kitchenette and bath, dog washing station, and nanny's quarters. Outside, the grounds are designed for privacy, leisure, and year-round use. The saltwater pool and hot tub, sport court, covered porch, outdoor kitchen, imported stone planters, automated gate, and landscaped gardens create a setting that feels deeply livable.
