Custom-built by two world-renowned architects, the Latimer House was designed to redefine our standards for open-concept living. The home’s sleek exterior is perfectly matched with a sun-drenched floor plan showcasing walls and walls of oversized windows, intricate soaring ceilings, a sprawling floating staircase that sits adjacent to a glass elevator, and unique industrial details throughout.

Complemented by spacious living and dining areas, a gourmet chef’s kitchen boasts a stainless steel countertop, high-quality appliances, and contemporary cabinetry. The lavish primary suite is bright and airy with a walk-in closet offering excellent storage space and a massive glass enclosed stall shower. All of the bathrooms feature industrialized sinks and designer tilework. With a private guest suite that has its own kitchenette and ample space for a home office, this city oasis offers flexibility to meet all of your needs, regardless of what they may be.
