This opulent $11 million Toronto mansion has an entire room lined with velvet

When you live near Toronto's iconic Casa Loma, a literal castle, it's hard to compete with the luxury and opulence. 

But 100 Ardwold Gate gives the century-old Gothic Revival landmark a run for its money. 

This custom-built marvel, completed in 2019, offers over 7,000 square feet of modern elegance and timeless charm.

The living room with herringbone hardwood floors. 

Let's start with the basics, 100 Ardwold Gate features four bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

The open-concept kitchen and dining room. 

On the main floor you have your grand principal rooms with soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light. 

The dining room with custom built-in shelving and wine display. 

This home is great for entertaining and the temperature-controlled wine displays in the dining room will have your guests swooning.

The glamorous kitchen. 

And the dining room is right off the kitchen which comes complete with Hermador appliances including double ovens, a built-in coffee maker and more. 

The office with built-in bookcases. 

The office is a cozy room with wood-coffered ceilings and a fireplace. 

The primary bedroom. 

There are actually multiple gas fireplaces throughout the home adding warmth and ambiance. 

Another bedroom. 

And if you're a fan of convenience (and who isn't?), you'll love the elevator that whisks you to all levels of the house.

A third bedroom. 

Speaking of the other levels of the house, the bedrooms are located on the second level of the house. 

The primary ensuite. 

But these aren't just any bedrooms; each one is a mini-retreat, complete with private ensuites, ensuring that everyone in the house has their own space to unwind.

One of the walk-in closets in the primary suite. 

The primary suite is a showstopper with a private terrace, two walk-in closets, and a seven-piece spa-like bathroom. 

The recreation room. 

You have more living space in the basement with a gym and our personal favourite, the velvet-lined movie room. It is very swanky!

The gym. 

The extras? Oh, they're just the cherry on top. There's a nanny suite, built-in cameras and speakers, a top-notch security system, heated floors, and custom built-ins.

But unlike Casa Loma, this estate doesn't really have a ton of outdoor space. The house takes up pretty much the entire footprint of the property. 

A covered patio. 

That said, there's a pretty glamorous covered outdoor patio with chandeliers and a firepit, so that's nice. 

The yard. 

But the lack of green space might be why this luxury home has had trouble selling, as after being on and off the market for over a year, 100 Ardwold Gate has dropped its price by more than $1.5 million.

Now, it is currently listed for $11,288,000.
