The opulent mansion from Schitt's Creek goes on sale for $21 million
Inside the spectacular property that was home to the Roses before they faced financial ruin...
The incredibly opulent mansion that featured in the hit show Schitt's Creek has gone on the market for $21 million (CND).
The property, called La Belle Maison, was home to Johnny and Moira Rose and their 'bébés', David and Alexis Rose; and its decadence and size firmly places it among the some of the world's best homes.
The Emmy Award-winning show features a married couple who suddenly go bankrupt and the only remaining asset they have is a rundown town named Schitt's Creek, which they initially bought as a joke. The rest, as they say, is history...
The 17th-century, French-inspired mansion in Toronto’s St. Andrews-Windfields neighborhood famously provided the setting for the Roses’ lavish lifestyle before their financial ruin.
Built in 2012, the 14-bedroom, 16-bath property boasts 24,000-square-foot of space and sits on half an acre of landscaped grounds that include gardens, classical sculptures, bronze-and-stone fountains, a saltwater swimming pool and a heated stone driveway with space for 14 cars.
Nestled behind wrought-iron gates with gold accents and marble pillars, the four-story estate is dressed to impress, blending modern luxury with European artisanship.
If it's plush entryway ideas you're looking for, it doesn't get much more extravagant than this. The double-arched entryway opens onto a spectacular tribute to the Sistine Chapel, which serves as the residence’s foyer with domed ceilings, stained glass, intricate motifs, a marble staircase and Michelangelo-inspired frescos.
