Scarpa and Alvar Aalto. The exterior is a precise composition rendered in concrete, cementitious panels, steel and fir windows frames. With a central atrium, meticulous fir and cedar detailing, two bedrooms, two and a half baths lined in French limestone, a stainless-steel professional kitchen and a wood burning fireplace, Tower House is truly a rare work of architecture and craftsmanship. From Cobourg Street, the striking wooden ramp takes you to the main level where the foyer soars thirty feet in a fir lined atrium to a skylit ceiling. A powder room is hidden behind a custom wooden door. The living room with its 12′ foot ceiling has exceptional views of the Lake Victoria and a custom wood burning fireplace. The lower level opens to grade and includes a stainless-steel kitchen with 16′ ceilings, views to the Japanese lily pond and a spacious dining room with direct access to the parking space and a bespoke sliding china cabinet. The second level has a bedroom complete with custom integral bed frame, nightstands and rolling table and a 3 piece ensuite lined with French limestone. The upper level has the main bedroom, reached by a meticulously detailed bridge, has views of the lake, integral custom bed frame and nightstands, ample custom cabinetry and a 4 piece bath lined with limestone and a stacked washer dryer. Its current use is a boutique inn – listed exclusively with Tablet Hotels and the Michelin Guide – while the special C3-11 zoning allows for a full range of commercial and residential uses (id:62650)
