5500 Steeles Avenue W

Imagine a place where your kids can roam free, your dogs lead the way, and every sunset feels like a show just for you. Nestled against the Niagara Escarpment, this 6042.22 sq ft modern home sits on 13.5 acres of private forest, rolling lawns, and endless adventure, your own family retreat just minutes from the city. Designed for real life and real connection, it blends the clean lines of modern architecture with the warmth of nature. Inside, soaring 24-ft ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass walls let the outside in, flooding the open-concept layout with sunlight and views that stretch for miles. The heart of the home is the kitchen, sleek, spacious, and built for gatherings big and small. Bake cookies at the island, host birthday dinners, or enjoy quiet Sunday mornings as the kids play in the next room. With five large bedrooms and seven bathrooms, there's space for everyone to spread out and still come together. The main-floor primary suite is a quiet escape, with a spa-like ensuite that makes every day feel like a hotel stay. Need extra space for in-laws, a nanny, or an independent teen? A separate suite offers total flexibility and privacy. Step outside and you'll find room to explore, play, and breathe, whether it's swimming in the saltwater pool, following winding trails through the woods, or dipping your toes in the stream. Ten walkouts lead to Malibu-style decks with glass railings and a green roof edge, perfect for family BBQs or watching the stars. There's parking for all your guests, top-tier insulation for year-round comfort, and even a 2.5-acre field for a pony, hobby farm, or just more space to roam. This isn't just a house. It's where childhood memories are made, family traditions begin, and life slows down, just enough to enjoy every moment. From sunrise coffees to starlit swims, this is the kind of place your family will never outgrow. Its home, in every sense of the word.
