PLAY WITH FIRE

ADDRESS: 2350 Doulton Drive
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Erindale, Mississauga
AGENT: Candice Leigh Chilton and Michael P.J. Parsons, RE/MAX Realty Enterprises Inc.
PRICE: $8.9 million
THE PLACE: Built as a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright, this jagged house is the dream hideout for introverted musicians. Not only are there six fireplaces (those vertical pillars are chimneys) to strum beside, there are nine “walkouts” (one for each of the five bedrooms) for direct access to natural inspiration.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: We’re not kidding about the musicians: the Rolling Stones were so charmed by the musical allure of this house that they were willing to pay a whooping $40,000 a week to stay here during SARS-stock.
BIG SELLING POINT: The Acoustic Room has 20-foot-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and octagonal ceiling treatment with rosewood panels.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Buying a house with an excess of erect chimneys makes you a classic case for Freudian psychoanalysis.


POSH BY THE NUMBERS:
• 10,000 square feet (finished space)
• 9 walkouts
• 6 fireplaces
• 5 bedrooms
• 5 bathrooms
• 4.99 acres
• 1 indoor pool
• 1 wine cellar

VERY cool.
This has RO Summit written ALL over it!!!!!!!!

Love it EG.
If only I would have known this was the SARS hideout. Damn.


LJ.

That is one stunning looking house ~ 10,000 sq ft is an enormous amount living space, TOO much unless you can afford the high cost to heat it! Maybe thats why there are 6 fireplaces! Wow, I can picture the Stones in there! Cool!   8-)  

Hey LJ is right lets rent it a week for an Exile Summit? 40 grand?  OK I have twenty bucks so we just need $39,980 more! Who's next?
