297 Russell Hill Road - FOREST HILL
I am not sure if this is just odd timing or if the owners of the house in my last post never sold in 2012 and have listed again...
At the same time they have listed this house...
But this house is the current home of designer Sloan Mauran, the designer and (former?) owner of the house at 51 Bernard Avenue.
She is also the daughter (I am presuming) of Harvey's and Industrial Growth Fund (which later became Mackenzie Financial) founder, Richard Mauran.
And according to this National Post article, she grew up in this house at 95 Ardwold Gate.
So, how did I figure out that this was her house (beside a quick reverse address search which helped to confirm it along with her website)?
Well, as I was going to post the Bernard house, I noticed this painting...
The same painting that is the family room of this house...
(I know the artist but can't place it. It's not Ellsworth Kelly, is it?)
Then I saw the David Hicks covered chair at Bernard...
And then in this house...
The apple at Bernard....
And in this house...
These chairs from Bernard...
And in this house...
The dining room table at Bernard...
Which became the kitchen table at this house...
And the list goes on.
One thing that is new though, and that I love, are these chairs....
Actually, there is a lot of new furniture in this house because it is a LOT bigger than the Bernard house.
It is only 3+1 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and it sits on a 60 x 173 foot lot.
The asking price is $7,850,000.
This is a beautiful house with an amazing kitchen...
But with only 3 bedrooms, that's going to be tough.
