“I would spend two days per week with a laser just planning everything
out… and at least three all-nighters here per week. I slept in the tower,”
says Jeremy. “We tried to focus on things that would last forever.”
So what came ready to be installed, free of intervention?
“Appliances?” laughs Kati. “Nothing. Everything is a collaboration.” Even
the sinks in the master bathroomwere hand-poured on-site, and nearly
every ledge in the home features adjustable lighting to create independent
emotions, giving you the ability to take inspiration from the energy of
your guests and create specific moods.
The expansive acreage was once home to a buffalo farm and features
rare English walnut andmulberry trees. The walnut in the front yard is a
nostalgic focal point reminiscent of the agricultural past of the property,
planted as a seedling by the previous owner’s grandfather. The tower
offers deep views of the Beaver Valley and Georgian Bay.
After the home goes on the market later this year, the family will stay in
the region. “We’re not going anywhere,” says Jeremy. “We’ve always lived
around the Townline and whoever ends up buying the house will probably
become friends of ours... It’s a great area with a lot of multi-generational
people… There’s lots of history here.”
“We tried to focuson things that
would last forever.”
