Normally, houses in the Bridle Path are often ostentatious, over-the-top, obnoxious displays of wealth.
They are the gaudy mega mansions with too much of everything – bathrooms, bedrooms, bells and whistles – because apparently, when it comes to wealthy homes in this neighbourhood, excess in everything but taste is the way to go.
And for a while, there was a chance that a once-empty lot at 90 Arjay Cres. could have been another architectural atrocity.
The foyer.
The owner had put the empty lot up for sale back in 2023. But after it sat on the market for almost a full year, it appears the owners decided to proceed with something a bid different from the faux-traditional mansions found throughout the area.
The staircase.
And thank goodness they did. 90 Arjay Cres. defies the norm and all expectations of what a Bridle Path house is known for.
The 10-car underground garage.
Designed by architect Richard Wengle, this Indiana limestone-clad mansion is understated, timeless and sophisticated, so much so that even the garage is classy.
The dining room with wine storage.
This is the house that embodies the saying: “Money talks, wealth whispers.”
The kitchen.
Nothing necessarily screams “I’m a multi-million dollar house in the Bridle Path,” but the luxury is ever-present.
The living room.
From the marble Kingsman fireplace in the living room to the 12-foot Valentino quartzite island in the kitchen, it’s all beautiful.
Custom arch doors into the office.
As you enter the house, you’re greeted by 11-foot ceilings, heated marble floors and custom everything.
Integrated appliances elevate the kitchen.
The main floor has all the key spaces, including the living room, dining room, kitchen, etc. They’re all connected by an earth-toned palette that is very calming.
The great room with views of the backyard.
Despite there not being a lot of colour in the spaces, touches like lime-washed walls and brass inlays add warmth, texture and interest, while the attention to detail and bespoke finishes really elevate this house to the next level.
A fireplace in the primary bedroom.
90 Arjay Cres. boasts five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The primary bedroom.
And in case you forgot this was a Bridle Path mansion, the primary suite does “span the north wing” of the house. Yes, this house is big enough to have “wings.”
The primary ensuite bathroom.
The bedroom has textured leather walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and of course, a spa-like ensuite with heated marble floors.
The smart-glass garage view.
In the basement, you’re treated to a wet bar, soundproof home theatre, gym, sauna and steam room, and for those gear heads, a smart-glass garage view.
A second prep kitchen.
While the outside is currently covered in several feet of snow, in the summer, according to the listing, you can enjoy a professionally landscaped backyard, saltwater pool, hot tub, cabana with an outdoor shower, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen.
The walk-in closet in the primary bedroom.
90 Arjay Cres. is listed for $15,000,000.
