The main staircase inside this now abandoned mansion!!

Today we have another abandoned mansion for you! It is not like the other mansions I have posted in the past, this one is a bit older and in my opinion has so much more character!

Built in the 1930s this Georgian Revival style home was part of an exclusive enclave of homes including a golf course across the street. There was also a church nearby that was built in the mid 1800s. Originally existing in a rural area, these homes, some of which have already been demolished are now surrounded by in a much more urban setting. This house has a heritage designation but given the area's reputation for lack of interest in preserving architectural history, I doubt this home will be saved from demolition.

With 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a separate living area for servants, a detached garage and being over 5000 sq/ft this home was an example of what wealth could buy you almost 100 years ago! The home sold for $4.9 million just 2 years ago then sold once again just recently for $6.5 million, that is quite the return on investment for something that has sat empty for the duration!

I am told that this home was most recently occupied by a doctor, who judging by the stair lift on the main staircase enjoyed the home well into his retirement years!
