Distinctive features
Distinctive features
The details below are taken from the official listings (MLS® W14141810 and 40875553) and from the Brooke Hicks Team feature sheet prepared for this property. Where a draft feature sheet disagreed with the published listing — notably the year built and the lot size — the published listing is used.
Setting and architecture
Custom built in 2013 and never before offered to the public, on a 75 × 374 ft private, tree-lined lot in Roseland, with a fenced yard. The TRREB listing also notes a wooded area.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, substantial exposed timber beams (the feature sheet attributes the beams to Mennonite artisans), intricate millwork, stained-glass detailing, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
The feature sheet also notes oversized arched windows overlooking the grounds, rich hardwood flooring, 10-foot ceilings in the kitchen and dining room, custom plaster trim in the dining room, solid wood trim and solid-core doors, and stained-glass French doors between the dining room and kitchen.
A grand library is described in the listing remarks. On the room list this corresponds to the main-level office.
The RAHB listing records the architectural style as contemporary and the fire protection as a security system and smoke detectors. The TRREB listing also notes a security system and smoke detectors, and a generator under utility-hydro.
Kitchen and entertaining
Bespoke cabinetry, granite surfaces, a custom range hood imported from Europe, and a collection of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, as published in the listing remarks.
From the feature sheet: a live-edge kitchen island, a Wolf 6-burner gas range with integrated grill, two Wolf wall ovens with a warming drawer below, an integrated Wolf countertop steamer, a built-in microwave, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, two integrated panelled refrigerator drawers in the island, two Bosch dishwashers, two kitchen sinks, a pot filler, a wine refrigerator and a beverage refrigerator, and a large pantry.
Appliances published on the TRREB listing include garage door opener remote(s), a built-in oven, central vacuum, water heater, dishwasher, freezer, microwave, oven, range, wine fridge and refrigerator. The RAHB listing also includes a dryer, washer, wet bar, gas stove(s), hood fan, window coverings and ceiling fans, and records a wet bar among the building features.
The water heater is listed as rental equipment.
Bedrooms, bathrooms and lower level
Four bedrooms above grade and one below on the TRREB listing and in the published remarks, with five bathrooms in total, including one partial bathroom.
Primary retreat with a private balcony and a luxurious six-piece ensuite, as published in the remarks. The feature sheet describes a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams, French doors to the balcony, a clawfoot tub, double vanity and walk-in shower. The RAHB room list labels the ensuite as five-piece and gives its dimensions as 4.39 m × 3.30 m.
The feature sheet notes that the second and third bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill four-piece bathroom, that the fourth bedroom has its own ensuite, and that laundry is on the upper level.
The lower level includes a recreation area, bar, fireplace and dedicated fitness space, as published in the remarks. The feature sheet also notes a brick feature wall in the recreation area, a bar and pool table area, a dedicated gym, a three-piece basement bathroom with walk-in shower, and two cold rooms. The RAHB listing names a gym, two storage rooms, a utility room and a recreation room, and records two lower-level bedrooms.
The TRREB listing notes an in-law suite among the building features.
Fireplaces and mechanical systems
Four fireplaces in total, as published on both listings. The RAHB listing describes the fireplace type as “other — see remarks (wood).”
From the feature sheet: a floor-to-ceiling solid-stone Rumford fireplace in the great room, a Valor gas fireplace in the library, a Valor gas fireplace in the primary bedroom, and a gas fireplace in the basement. These locations are feature-sheet details and should be confirmed on a showing.
Heating is forced air (natural gas) with central air conditioning. The feature sheet identifies a Carrier Infinity furnace with a wireless control panel, an electronic air cleaner and steam humidifier, 250-amp electrical service, a Russound hardwired whole-home speaker system, hardwired internet in every room, a government-grade security system, a central vacuum with an integrated kitchen cabinet sweep inlet, electrical rough-in for an EV charger, and a sump pump. A sump pump is also published on both listings, and a central vacuum is included among the listing appliances.
The owner later described a new furnace in winter 2026, Kolbe windows, a Carrier Infinity 96 HVAC system, an HRV, an Axis security camera system, a Canavac central vacuum, an ADT/Telus custom security system, an intercom video system, and two security bollards at the driveway entrance. These items were supplied by the owner and, according to the team, were to be incorporated into the features list; they have not been independently verified and some do not appear on the published listings.
Exterior, inclusions and neighbourhood
From the feature sheet: a covered porch, an outdoor gas barbecue area, hardwired backyard lighting, an irrigation system, landscaped gardens, garden planters, and two hose bibs in the rear yard. The published lot size of 75 × 374 ft replaces an earlier draft figure of 100 × 353 ft on that sheet, which is not used here.
Parking: attached garage, 10 spaces in total. The RAHB listing also notes an automatic garage door opener.
Nearby amenities named in the listing remarks include parks and green spaces, the Roseland Tennis Club, the Burlington waterfront, and John T. Tuck Public School, with downtown Burlington a short distance away. The map further down the page shows places drawn from OpenStreetMap.
Property details, dates, dimensions and condition information on the feature sheet, and additional items supplied by the owner, have not been independently verified. Buyers should complete their own due diligence. Listing facts are as published for MLS® W14141810 by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board and for MLS® 40875553 by the Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington. Where those two listings disagree, both figures are shown.
The floor plan
Room by room
Measurements are as published on the listings. Where the TRREB and RAHB figures differ, both are noted. A RAHB “bedroom” measuring 4.29 m × 0.56 m (about 14 ft × 1 ft 10 in) is omitted here as that width is not a habitable room and appears to be a typographical error; the TRREB listing records bedroom 3 as 4.29 m × 3.61 m.

A note on the two listings
The TRREB listing does not publish bathroom dimensions; those come from the RAHB listing (MLS® 40875553).
Imperial figures are shown as published on the same listing as the metric figure they accompany, so rounding can differ slightly between boards.

This calculator is for illustration only. Canadian residential mortgages typically compound interest semi-annually, not in advance, and that method is used here. Actual payments depend on your lender, the product you choose, and a full application. A property listed above $1.5 million is generally treated as uninsured, which usually means a minimum 20% down payment — confirm current rules with a mortgage professional. Brooke Hicks and Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services do not provide mortgage advice.
