What to love

A direct-to-suite elevator leads straight to the unit and opens through a hand-forged iron door to the two-storey living room. Stunning views of the Peace Bridge and river valley add to the space. A wood-burning fireplace with oval Renaissance paintings of cherubs and nature scenes will make any guest feel like they’re being entertained by royalty.

The formal dining space includes another patio door leading outside to the entertaining terrace. The kitchen features a hand-carved china cabinet, pull-out cutting boards and iron light fixtures, and around the corner is a walk-in fridge.

And that’s not all — there’s even more to discover about this expansive penthouse, from the casual family room and second living room to the hidden secret rooms.
