Set on a quiet Richmond Hill street, 107 Yongehurst Road is a KingsGate Luxury Homes custom build that marries the grandeur of a French chateau exterior with a thoroughly modern interior vocabulary. Hand-cut cream limestone cladding, a mansard-style dark slate roof, curved stone dormers and wrought iron balcony railings give the facade a sculptural presence from the street. Step through the arched front door and the contrast is immediate: polished white marble floors, walnut-panelled coffered ceilings, geometric laser-cut screen columns, and a dramatic staircase topped by a full-span leaded-glass skylight that floods every level with natural light. This home spans three finished levels including a walk-out lower level with a cedar sauna, an in-home elevator, a professionally equipped kitchen with a separate butler’s pantry, and a primary suite that occupies its own wing of the upper floor.
Exterior: Hand-Cut Limestone and a Mansard Roofline
The front elevation is clad entirely in hand-cut buff limestone with rusticated coursing, a material that reads as both weightily traditional and precisely crafted. The roofline follows a classic French mansard profile finished in dark slate, with paired curved stone dormers on the upper level. The main entry sits within a carved stone arched surround flanked by stone pilasters, and the solid-panel front door carries wrought iron scrollwork sidelights and a circular carved medallion at its centre. A full-width front porch with decorative wrought iron railings in a fleur-de-lis pattern sits above the double garage. The garage doors themselves are walnut-toned wood panels with frosted glass inserts, maintaining the warm material palette at grade. An interlocking stone driveway completes the arrival sequence. At the rear, the upper levels transition to smooth stucco with a limestone base course, large arched casement windows in dark frames, and a natural stone flagstone terrace with French doors at the lower level.
Foyer and Main Hall
The foyer is paved in large-format polished white marble tiles that reflect the brass lantern-style chandelier overhead. The front door, seen from inside, is all the more striking: dark walnut with a carved circular medallion, iron scrollwork side panels, and a full arched transom. The ceiling above is a layered walnut coffered tray with dark-stained inset panels and recessed pot lighting. The main hall opens through a colonnade of white-painted pilasters inset with decorative laser-cut geometric screen panels in a circular interlocking pattern, creating a visual divide between the foyer marble and the wide-plank hardwood of the principal rooms beyond. The separation is theatrical without being heavy, and from the foyer you can look straight through to the white marble slab fireplace wall of the formal living room.
Formal Living Room
The formal living room is defined by its fireplace wall: a full-height slab of white marble with dramatic gold and grey veining, flanked by dark walnut accent panels that frame the linear gas firebox and create a symmetrical composition. The ceiling continues the walnut coffered panel theme from the hallway, with recessed lighting cutting through the dark timber for a warm, layered glow. Wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout with a contrasting darker inlay border that reinforces the room’s proportions. Large windows on two sides look out to the front garden and the mature trees of the front porch view. The laser-cut geometric screen columns that frame the room’s entry from the foyer are visible from multiple angles, acting as a sculptural threshold rather than a solid wall.
Dining Room
The dining room shares the open plan of the main floor and occupies its own defined bay beneath a dark walnut coffered ceiling with staggered recessed panels. A gold and brass chandelier with fabric drum shades and crystal droplets anchors the ceiling. Wide-plank hardwood floors with inlay border continue from the living room, and windows on multiple sides ensure the space is well-lit through the day. A custom-built butler’s pantry sits immediately off the dining room: dark walnut shelving wraps the corner with open display shelves, an X-pattern wine rack, lower slab-front cabinets and quartz countertop, all lit from above by recessed spots.
Kitchen
The kitchen is a study in two-tone precision. White high-gloss flat-panel cabinetry lines the perimeter walls to the ceiling, while the large centre island and upper accent cabinets are clad in dark walnut-toned panels. The island carries a thick white quartz countertop with an undermount sink, a chrome gooseneck faucet, and a flush pop-up electrical module. Two diamond-framed geometric chrome pendant chandeliers hang above on long chrome drops. The cooking station features a professional-grade six-burner stainless steel gas range with a wall-mounted chrome pot filler on an articulating arm, and a marble slab backsplash with grey-gold veining behind the range. A stainless steel double wall oven and microwave tower occupies the adjacent run. A separate perimeter prep counter with its own undermount sink, also in white quartz, extends along the side wall. The floor throughout is polished white marble tile continuous with the adjoining main hall. A raised tray ceiling with a stainless steel reveal trim adds a quiet layer of architectural detail above.
Family Room
Opening directly off the kitchen and rear hall, the family room occupies a generous bay with polished white marble tile floors and a layered tray ceiling with stainless steel reveal trim. The feature wall is a symmetrical composition: a linear gas fireplace with a white and grey veined marble surround is flanked on both sides by dark walnut-framed white built-in shelving units with recessed LED lighting. The units include lower cabinets with walnut fronts and frosted glass door panels. French doors and large picture windows open to the rear terrace, filling the room with natural light and providing a direct connection to the outdoor flagstone patio and garden.
Powder Room and Elevator
The main-floor powder room is finished with full-height silver-grey damask-pattern wallpaper, a white quartz trough sink with a chrome crystal-knob faucet, an ornately framed silver mirror, and a crystal-and-chrome vanity light bar above. It reads as deliberately decorative, a departure from the clean architectural lines of the surrounding rooms.
The in-home elevator is tucked into a dedicated alcove off the main hall. Its cab interior is panelled in warm walnut tongue-and-groove boards with recessed ceiling lights, and the floor carries a decorative black-and-white mosaic medallion tile. The call button is stainless steel set flush into the surrounding white millwork.
Staircase and Skylight
The main staircase is an open-tread design in stained oak with full-height glass panel railings and brushed stainless steel pin fittings. Step-lighting is recessed into the underside of each riser, creating an amber wash along the treads at night. The stair wraps in a U-configuration and, viewed from above, forms a clean geometric spiral. At its top, the leaded-glass skylight is the home’s single most arresting architectural feature: a large rectangular panel in the ceiling of the upper landing filled with a circular cathedral-style tracery pattern in black ironwork, with frosted glass panes. At night it is ringed by warm LED cove lighting built into the surrounding tray, glowing amber against the white plaster. In daylight, the pattern casts soft diffused light across the hardwood landing floor below.
Primary Suite
The primary suite runs across its own section of the upper floor, large enough that the bedroom itself has distinct zones for sleeping and sitting. Wide-plank hardwood floors, a layered tray ceiling with warm LED cove lighting and pot lights, and arched casement windows on multiple walls give the room a settled grandeur without heaviness. French doors open to a private balcony with garden and treetop views. The fireplace wall opposite the windows is finished in a textured light stone plaster with a linear gas firebox and flanking dark walnut built-in cabinetry with upper glass-front display niches.
Primary Walk-In Closet
The walk-in closet is fully lined on three walls with floor-to-ceiling dark walnut built-in cabinetry. Raised-panel door fronts with chrome bar pulls, built-in drawer runs, glass-front display sections for accessories, and full-length mirror panels all feature. A raised tray ceiling with recessed pot lighting keeps the space bright despite the warm wood tones. The floor is wide-plank hardwood, matching the bedroom.
Primary Ensuite
The primary ensuite is the room that most clearly signals the level of finish throughout this home. A freestanding white soaker tub is positioned directly beneath an arched window, centred in the room with a chrome floor-mount tub filler and a crystal globe chandelier suspended overhead. The double floating vanity runs along the adjacent wall in dark walnut with a white quartz-look stone countertop, two undermount sinks with chrome square-profile faucets, chrome wall sconces flanking a large frameless mirror, and polished white marble tile underfoot. The enclosed shower is the boldest element: frameless glass panels on a chrome frame reveal interior walls tiled floor to ceiling in a three-dimensional square-pattern gold mosaic, warm amber in tone, with a recessed rain head and chrome body fixtures.
Upper Laundry Room
The dedicated second-floor laundry room is fitted with white high-gloss flat-panel cabinetry above and below, a white quartz countertop with an undermount stainless steel sink and chrome pull-out faucet, and a side-by-side front-load washer and dryer set in charcoal. A window looks over the rear garden.
Lower Level: Recreation Room, Wet Bar and Sauna
The lower level is fully finished as a large open-concept recreation space. Polished white tile floors run throughout, and the ceiling is smooth with recessed pot lighting and in-ceiling speakers. The wet bar area features a dark walnut island with a quartz countertop, chrome pendants, and a perimeter run of dark walnut lower cabinets with a white countertop and undermount sink. White open display shelving with under-cabinet lighting lines the wall above the bar. Across the room, a linear gas fireplace is flanked by symmetrical white built-in shelving with dark walnut lower cabinets. A second entrance is provided by a glazed double door with iron insert panels at walk-out level. The cedar sauna is located within the lower level: its walls, ceiling and tiered bench seating are all in natural light cedar tongue-and-groove, with a steel electric sauna heater at the base.
Rear Terrace and Garden
The rear of the property is finished with a natural stone flagstone terrace accessed through French doors at both the main floor family room level and the lower level walk-out. Wrought iron stair railings connect the levels. The garden is a level lawn enclosed by wood privacy fencing with mature trees along the perimeter. Coach-style black exterior lanterns are mounted at the rear wall.
