1577 Gloucester Road, London North MLS Number: X13646394

A private estate where the city disappears. Behind a gated, lantern-lit entry, on one of London North's most coveted streets, sits a custom estate built not only to impress, but to be lived in. Homes on this street have been held for decades, rarely listed, until now. What sets it apart is what's hidden behind it. The lot backs onto protected conservation land, a private wall of forest that will never be built on. Step through the rear doors and the city falls away; step back in and you're minutes from all your essentials, including Masonville, St.Joseph's, and London Health Sciences. Prestige at the gate, stillness at the treeline, and your home the centre of it all. That combination rarely exists in the city. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks first. Hand-laid walnut parquet in a Versailles pattern, coffered ceilings, full panel moulding, solid-core doors with real weight. The kind of detail you feel underfoot and overhead before you can name it. The main-floor primary is a sanctuary, garden doors to the grounds, a marble-inlaid ensuite, adressing room finished like a private atelier. A Wolf-equipped kitchen and full servery makeshosting effortless. Formal living and dining rooms open beneath soaring arched doors and twin fireplaces, the forest framed in every window. Upstairs, a loft retreat and two generous bedrooms; below, two more and a flexible space for guests or extended family, with a walk-up to the triple garage. Outside, a covered porch and two-tiered garden built for long evenings incomplete privacy. Over 5,600 square feet of finished living, on a street that rarely opens its doors.
