In her private quarters, Judith enjoys a master bathroom exuding pure spa essence thanks to five slabs of striated Cipollino marble flooring set against the white mini-crystal granite walls, countertop and surrounds. A playful art piece over the Kohler soaker bathtub is reflected in the vanity mirror for double the impact, while a wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets with oversized satin nickel pulls keeps bathroom miscellany safely stowed. A steam shower, equipped with digital controls programmed for individual preferences, rounds out the luxury touches. The private rooftop terrace is what Judith calls “the crowning glory” of her home: “It’s a virtual oasis that calms the mind and soothes the soul.” This lush green space incorporates a pergola with a natural gas fireplace in stone, both custom designed. A retractable awning is operated remotely and contains lighting for evening entertaining. A terrace focal point is the water fountain orb, a custom piece with a black acid-wash finish that stands over five feet high. “It’s a stately piece that complements the straight and curved lines of the custom metal screens,” said Robert. Judith’s urban Eden and spacious condo interior suit her well and effectively represent the McCann Christopher Group brand. “It’s the feeling,” said Judith. “You have to go with what you’re passionate about and what comes easily to you. For us, that’s staying with the brand.” •
Mex, “the Lord of the Manor,” relaxes in the guest room after surveying his demesne. Opposite: The art piece over the soaker bathtub, with movement and colour both playful and contemporary, was discovered at a Hamilton gallery.
