Maplebank Estate is a one-of-a-kind private compound set on 2.5 acres of beautifully forested grounds, just moments from downtown Waterdown. Beyond the electric gates, the original 1847 residence has been extensively restored and enhanced with millions of dollars in renovations, blending historic character with modern luxury.A private underground tunnel connects the main residence to an impressive auxiliary building designed for year-round recreation and entertaining. The lower level features a fully sound-isolated floating movie theatre with a 12.5-foot-wide screen and 4K projector, along with a private games room overlooking the indoor pool. Accessible by elevator, the pool is enclosed within a bright four-season atrium and includes a sauna and waterfall feature. Nearby is a full service kitchen, bathroom and additional laundry area. The attached garage accommodates four vehicles, with additional tandem parking. Above, a dramatic vaulted loft offers endless possibilities as a home gym, games room, studio or golf simulator. Together, these spaces could also serve as an in-law suite or private secondary dwelling. The nearly 4,000-square-foot main residence features an addition by award-winning architect Malcolm Wildeboer. Inside, site-finished natural walnut flooring, soaring ceilings and carefully preserved architectural details create a warm, timeless atmosphere. The home offers four bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with a private upper-level terrace overlooking the grounds.With parking for approximately 20 vehicles, exceptional privacy and unmatched versatility, Maplebank Estate is unlike anything else on the market.
