231 Mackay Street

Offered for the first time, this Italian designer-conceived residence stands as a timeless expression of architecture, scale, and intentional living. From its inception, the home was envisioned as a modern sanctuary where minimalist design meets warm, livable spaces. A sleek grey exterior rises from meticulously curated ground cover, while a private walkway creates a quiet, elegant approach to the entrance. Inside, soaring ceiling heights establish an immediate sense of calm and refinement. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace framed in grey marble, with windows capturing tranquil views of the Governor General's Grounds. A separate dining space, equally inviting with its own wood-burning fireplace, connects to the kitchen, creating a natural setting for both intimate evenings and sophisticated entertaining. The kitchen is finished in pristine white cabinetry & countertops, thoughtfully designed with generous storage, pot drawers, pantry space, + expansive preparation areas. Stainless steel appliances include a gas range, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, and exterior-vented hood fan, complemented by a built-in espresso station with piped-in water - a subtle nod to its European inspiration. A sculptural circular metal staircase leads to the upper level, where 2 spacious bedrooms and a flexible 3rd room, currently an office, offer versatility and comfort. The primary suite features a full wall of custom closets and access to a serene bathroom with glass shower, six-foot soaker tub, and refined white finishes throughout. The lower level, once an artist's studio, offers future potential for additional living space alongside a walk-in wine cellar awaiting its next collection. Outdoors, a screened dining pavilion with a brick pizza-oven fireplace invites relaxed evenings. Oversized garage accommodating up to 2 vehicles, complete with electricity and water, offers rare urban flexibility. Set on a remarkable 155ft.-deep & rear lane access to the garage (id:50982)
