It has been owned by the same family who commissioned the design and has been lovingly maintained and is in original condition. The original Heath tiles are present in both upstairs baths and the fireplace surround. There are three large private decks, with French doors from almost every room. It has a generous studio in the lower level that could function as an ensuite bedroom. The studio can be accessed from the lower level via a large pocket door or by a separate and private outside entrance. Slide show and video tour 5811scarborough.com
