This Vaughan Mansion is Straight Out of Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast may be set in provincial France, but a recently listed mansion in Vaughan looks like it’s vying to be the set of the next remake. And just like the fairytale castle, this GTA home has some, shall we say, quirks?

Located at 76 Quail Run Boulevard in Vaughan’s Maple neighbourhood, the 21,000-sq.-ft stone-clad abode sits on a relatively secluded tree-lined property. The outside of the house, with its decoratively trimmed dormers and quaint, painted shutters, is certainly eye-catching, but it’s nothing compared to what’s inside.

The theme of this house seems to be “rooms you didn’t even know you wanted and maybe still don’t.” For starters, there’s a Great Hall that, once you get past the undoubtedly stunning cathedral ceilings, has so much going on that it’s hard for your eyes to settle on just one thing.

There’s the massive fireplace with carved busts on either side, two lofted stained glass windows, three (yes, three) large giraffe statues, and the overlooking balcony with vibrant stained glass doors featuring a few cherubs. Not to mention the wainscoting, gold sconces, and opulent drapery. The listing describes the home as having a “New England” style, but it’s reading more “New Jersey.”

Question: Have you ever found yourself wanting an entire room just for a telescope? Of course you have! And this house has one for you. Now how about a room just for shuffle board? Also yes? Well you’re in luck, because the house has got one for that too, with blue carpeting, turquoise walls, and a yellow ceiling to boot.

And if the idea of having a dinner party directly under the gates of heaven has been sitting on your bucket list for a while, then this dining room with its, um, interesting ceiling mural can make your wildest dreams come true on a daily basis.

Specs:
•    Address: 76 Quail Run Boulevard
•    Bedrooms: 6
•    Bathrooms: 10
•    Size: 21,000+ sq. ft
•    Price: $12,800,000
•    Listed by: Hammond International Properties Limited

But the true pièce de résistance of the Vaughan mansion is its primary suite. If you’ve ever wondered what sleeping inside a waterfront gazebo might be like (because who hasn’t?), this impressively large bedroom could give you a pretty good idea. With its white trellis-clad walls, and murals of the land, sea, and sky, all you’d need is a convincing sound machine to get the full experience.

To be fair, as much as there is to side-eye in this house, it also has plenty to envy. There’s the in-home gym, the eight-car garage, the guest quarters, and the extremely spacious gourmet kitchen (granted the nearby eating area does have a giant stained glass mural of deers by a river). There’s also the spa, the expansive wine cellar, the moody billiards room, and the English-pub-style bar.

Your jaw will drop as soon as they witness the lavish two-storey lobby, drenched in marble and granite accents, Venetian plaster, baroque wallpaper, chandeliers and ornate crown moulding. In fact, it will be easy to forget you’re not in a European 5-star resort. Bellaria Residences was developed by Solmar Development Corp, the creators of the luxurious townhomes at The Windsor, in Niagara Falls, and Edge Towers in Mississauga.

This mid-rise, gated community is divided into 4 towers, Tower 1 at 9225, Tower 2 at 9235, Tower 3 at 9245 and Tower 4 at 9255 on Jane Street, right in the middle of the Maple neighbourhood, in the city of Vaughan, Ontario. Towers 1 and 2 were finished in 2008, and carry 236 and 216 units respectively. Tower 3 was completed in 2011, and has a total of 209 units. Tower 4 is the newest one, completed in 2015, and offers 220 units. Bellaria Residences offers 16 different models, ranging from The Ruby, with 1 bedroom, one bathroom, and 692 sq. ft. of space, all the way to the Penthouse VII, which comes with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 2,394 sq. ft. layout.

Each of the 4 towers offer luxurious amenities that must be seen to believe, including a wine cellar, a spacious reading room, an elegant party room with its own cocktail lounge, a private movie theater with leather recliners, state-of-the-art fitness centres, and 24 hour concierge and gatehouse security. If you love the outdoors, you’ll certainly enjoy the 20-acre park-like setting, with its 2.5 km of walkways and immaculate landscaping.

Each unit features European style cabinets, with extended height upper cabinets and granite countertops. Though the windows are thermally insulated and energy efficient, aesthetics are not sacrificed. Its architecture shines with its double glazed, bronze tinted design. Each unit comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, smooth top self-cleaning stove, and microwave. The laundry room comes equipped with a stacked washer and dryer.

To top it all off, it would be difficult to find a more privileged location. Shopaholics will be able to simply walk across the street to Vaughan Mills Mall, and shop-till-they-drop in its over 260 stores, restaurants and boutiques. Children and the young at heart will have easy access to the famous Canada’s Wonderland Amusment Park, and its many attractions such as roller coasters, waterpark, thrill rides and games. The park is a short, 2 minute car ride away, or if you prefer to avoid traffic, or finding a parking spot, you can simply walk there too.

Access to Metro Toronto is quite convenient too, with the 400 highway a short 5-minute ride away, giving you easy access to the Pearson International Airport, York, North York, and Downtown Toronto.
