Dazzling designs and spectacular views
The Daniels Corporation does it all with one-of-a-kind suite designs at their Kilgour Estate community
From Condo Life Magazine
Expansive terraces. Luxurious layouts. Ravine views. Purchasers at Kilgour Estate already know that life is good, and that it can only get better with the perfect place to live. That is why they’ve come to The Daniels Corporation’s exclusive community of terraced condo residences and Georgian-style townhomes.
With construction well underway, this has become they city’s most sought-after ravine community. Located on 12 acres of property at Bayview south of Lawrence, Kilgour Estate is surrounded by Toronto’s most popular neighbourhoods, including Lawrence Park. Besides breathtaking views of the lush Burke Brook ravine, the surrounding landscaped gardens and the magnificent downtown skyline to the south, Kilgour will feature distinctive entry gates with a tree-lined boulevard leading to a classical lookout Belvedere adjacent to the ravine.
Kilgour Estate itself offers a stunning centrepiece to its spectacular surroundings. The construction and design will be done in the art of old-world craftsmanship for a timeless appeal. The facade is laid with smaller bricks than are typically found in today’s custom-built homes; this dying trade offers a level of workmanship difficult to find anywhere else in the city. Coloured precast elements offer added detail, with graceful arches over balconies and authentic corner quoins.
The Brian Gluckstein-designed lobby in Phase One will be graced with inlaid marble flooring, intricate wood walls and a vaulted dome ceiling. A 24-hour concierge and a Building Ambassador will provide a variety of resident services.
The exclusive Kilgour Club amenities area includes an Aquatic Centre with indoor pool and whirlpool overlooking a landscaped courtyard, a Library with a stone fireplace and soft lighting, a Home Theatre with surround sound, a Fitness Studio, Billiard Room, Club Room with private dining room, catering kitchen and more.
Outside, a range of amenities includes some of the city’s most celebrated private schools, as well as the Granite Club, Rosedale Golf Club and Serena Gundy Park.
Suites offer expansive layouts with beautiful terraces, many of them overlooking the ravine. The Stratford penthouse, for example, is a stunning two-bedroom-plus-den suite that features 2,181 square feet of lavish living space, with a glorious 1,176-square-foot wraparound terrace-ideal for summer dinner parties, lounging and even gardening.
Inside, a dramatic round foyer will be sure to inspire more than a few “Wows†upon arrival. The expansive main rooms overlook the terrace and the tremendous ravine views beyond, with a curved windowed wall in the living/dining room to maximize light exposure and create a spectacular focal point. The cosy family room is open to the spacious breakfast area and gourmet kitchen with large island. A separate den can be used as a private library or a home office.
The bedrooms are removed from the more public spaces for the feel of a separate wing. A master suite includes an expansive ensuite with his and hers sinks and a huge walk-in closet - as well as private access to the terrace.
The spectacular level of finishes throughout this and all other suites would be considered upgrades anywhere else, with soaring 10-foot coffered ceilings and designer-selected appointments, including stone countertops and a choice of slate, hardwood, porcelain or marble flooring. Purchasers are beginning to discover this standard of luxury as they begin to work with the Daniels’ decor team to personalize their luxurious interiors.
Like many of the suites, The Stratford is a one-of-a-kind layout designed exclusively by Brian Gluckstein. Georgian-style townhomes also offer a unique lifestyle alternative filled with features chosen to create luxurious living, with private front gardens, portico entrances, second-floor Juliet balconies and third-floor rooftop terraces. A selection of townhome plans also come with a private elevator.
Kilgour Estate’s terrace condo residences and Georgian-style townhomes are priced from the $400,000s to over $2 million.
