Welcome to the Bridle Path, which is considered to be one of the wealthiest areas in all of Canada and has been the residence of many famous people, including Drake, Celine Dion, Elton John, and Prince, to name just a few.
When it was advertised in 2014, this massive 30,000 square foot mansion designed in the style of a French chateau had an estimated worth of over $40,000,000, making it one of the most expensive properties in Canada. It was constructed in 1985 for a real estate entrepreneur who commissioned the work. A decline in the economy necessitated him selling the asset, which he had only held for a brief amount of time before being compelled to do so. After being purchased in 2002, the house underwent extensive renovations throughout the course of the subsequent years under its new ownership. The mansion has a total of 10 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, a big indoor pool with a floor that can be retracted to convert it into a ballroom, a library, a tennis court, multiple fireplaces that burn wood, a recording studio, a 40-car garage, and a bomb bunker.
During the course of its history, the house has played host to a wide variety of well-known figures, including Jane Fonda and Pierre Elliott Trudeau, a former prime minister of Canada. The home has also been featured in a number of movies, including one called “It Takes Two,” which starred Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
The house was purchased in 2020, but for the subsequent several years, it remained unoccupied. A few months ago, demolition contractors were on site and this stunning piece of architecture was taken down. Flash forward to the present day. The current intention is to construct a house that is three times bigger, measuring in at 90,000 square feet. In order to accomplish this goal, the vacant lot next door was purchased and is going to be incorporated into this property.
