The elegant main floor features two fire places and hardwood throughout the dining room and formal living room/library. The kitchen has a large granite island, spacious nook, and high-end appliances.

Also located on the main floor, the master bedroom offers an oversized walk-in closet and a deluxe ensuite bathroom.

Four large bedrooms (three of which have their own ensuite) and a large laundry room make up the second floor of the Max Bell House.

The lower level of this heritage house has been fully developed and includes media, snooker, and exercise/rec rooms, a sauna, and a wine cellar.
