Conrad Black Selling Nine-Bedroom Family Mansion In Toronto

The Canadian Press, 04 Feb, 2016 01:14 PM
    TORONTO — Former press baron Conrad Black is looking to sell his 23,000-square-foot home in Toronto's exclusive Bridle Path neighbourhood.
     
    Nestled on a 6.6-acre lot, the nine-bedroom property that includes a caretaker suite and a converted coach house will hit the auction block on March 8.
     
    It has an estimated value of $21.8 million, according to an online listing.
     
    Black's house was built and renovated by New York architect Thierry Despont, who has also designed and built homes for Calvin Klein, Bill Gates and the late Greek shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos.
     
    The building features two, two-storey libraries, an indoor swimming pool with skylight, a carved granite Jacuzzi and a copper-domed chapel consecrated by two cardinals.
     
    Toronto real estate agent Barry Cohen is handling the sale in partnership with New York-based Concierge Auctions.
