Set in a neighbourhood amongst some more traditional homes, the architectural design of Marshall Court allows it to stand out but still offer a cohesive look within the neighbourhood. With a modern tudor exterior, the dramatic peaks give it a more prominent feel, but the light and bright colours used for the exterior finishes make the home approachable and grand and is a nod to what can be found within.

Behind the handmade wooden door at the entrance of the home is a grand foyer; look up to find a catwalk going from the eastern to the western wing of the second floor and look straight, you see the entire depth of the home, into the private and green backyard. This home was designed with clever use of space in mind while keeping a jaw-dropping style, no matter where you are in the house. It’s warm, modern, bright and airy interiors are completed with a mild traditional touch.

The staircase is a work of art; beautifully curved and elegant, at the centre of the home. The kitchen is inviting, spacious and full of natural light, and features a generous hidden pantry and coffee bar. Upstairs, are 5 bedrooms, all very well proportioned to host 3 young boys, their parents as well as guests. The master quarters are stunning; an arched opening greets you in the walk-in closet. The bedroom is an ideal size and has beautiful transom windows that offer picturesque views. The master bathroom has big windows but is very private, nonetheless. The vanity wall is stunning with its chevron marble backsplash.

The flow in this home comes naturally. The family has its space to retreat to, where each member enjoys some alone time, and it is also designed to bring the family together. The aesthetics are congruent as each element works with each other. It is a truly calm and serene place to be.
