The Lighthaus....Designed by minimalist architect Johnson Chou, this 4 bedroom airy light filled wonder is like nothing else. A rare corner lot wrapped in 30+ cedars gives true privacy while floor to ceiling windows fill every level with daylight. Chou's attention to detail lends itself to perfect calming spa like environments. The Lighthaus is no exception. The roof sheltered central courtyard slides fully open so the 10 ft plus main floor becomes one seamless indoor/ outdoor room. Designed to flow together, each room draws you to the next with delight and excitement. A sculptural floating stair with a full height glass wall anchors the interior. The Lighthaus is detached with its own matching detached garage. 3 luxurious levels each with their own tailored outdoor space. Upstairs the serene primary suite adds 12 ft of custom wardrobes and a sunny terrace with a skylit second bath just down the hall. The bright lower level lives above grade thanks to a sunken courtyard and backyard walkout- ideal for guests, office or play. The space can be expanded to entertain or it can be drawn behind breezy curtains to cocoon yourself in privacy and softness. Practical perks, (garage + private drive, tankless hot water, central HVAC with humidifier and NEST wifi enabled controls) keep life easy. Surrounded by the most sought after schools, Earl Haig and Monarch Park, this lighthaus is surrounded by ravines and parks. It is a short stroll to the Danforth where the culinary delights are ever expanding. A few minutes drive to the beach and close to the subway it is tucked in one of the most convenient and leafy pockets in the city. It is a rare gem, like a purple taaffeite, barely ever seen and almost never for sale. Lighthaus lives as beautifully as it looks.
