Here is what the basement of this mansion looked like, it was something straight out of the 1960s, absolutely amazing space!!

Built in 1962 this absolutely incredible mid century mansion had only one owner and almost nothing has changed in the home since then! Sitting on a huge 4 acre lot with a swimming pool, the house was sold in 2020 for $12,000,000.  Unfortunately given the area where it is located the home will almost certainly be demolished in the near future to make way for a much larger mansion.

The owner of this home (let’s call him Jeff) was born in 1933, he paid for his university education from being a reservist in the Royal Canadian Air Force.  Jeff began his career as a prospector in Northern Ontario and Quebec almost 60 years ago and has staked many claims during that time  Over his decades long career, he had developed mines all over the world, mostly copper, nickel and gold.  One such mine was sold in 1994 which provided him with a perpetual royalty payment that was as much as $7 million per year.  A very savvy business man and he also liked to invest his profits in the stock market, where he both lost and made millions. Jeff was also very generous, having donated an eight-figure sum to various charities over the years.  One interesting thing to note is that he also had a favourite restaurant where he went every day for 30 years.

Jeff passed away in 2015 at the age of 81 and his wife of 53 years passed in 2020 at the age of 87.
