A grand and coveted historic Canadian mansion in Toronto’s premier Bridle Path enclave will be offered for sale for the first time through Concierge Auctions on March 8th. With an estimated value of $21.8 million, an impressive 23,000-square-foot-plus of living space set on over 6.6 acres, is built in six phases and extensively renovated over the years. Crafted and constructed by famous international Architect Thierry W. Despont — who has been commissioned by other notable clients including Bill Gates, GianniAgnelli and Stavros Niarchos – 26 Park Lane Circle is a magnificent Georgian residence that has everything from an indoor pool and spa to a chapel consecrated by two Cardinals. Taking the term ‘grand entrance’ to a whole new level, the residence is located down a winding, romantic driveway set back from the road, nestled amongst the trees without another building in site.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted within the three-story foyer, complete with a grand staircase, impeccably detailed molding and an ornate chandelier. Offering endless options for entertaining, the estate is comprised of uniquely configured reception and living spaces where Black and his family have hosted Richard Nixon, Margaret Thatcher, Henry Kissinger, The Duke of Edinburgh, Sir Elton John, and many other prominent figures.
The house has an elegant formal dining room, dual sitting and dressing rooms, a two-story/two-room library, state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, a media room, billiard room, wine cellar and multiple working fireplaces throughout. Including the guest apartment and coach house, the entire property includes a total of nine bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms and four half bathrooms. There will be an unpublished reserve.
Just a 15-minute drive from the center of downtown Toronto, 26 Park Lane Circle lies within the Bridle Path area – one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods in all of Canada, often referred to as “Millionaires’ Row.”
