Imagine a house that has a real character, soft, warm and cozy, without the harsh lines of more modern houses, which speaks of another century when craftsmanship was paramount and the design was unique. Now put this house close to one acre with a ravine in the form of a backyard, secluded, but at the same time a short drive from the city center. Welcome to the Gehry House in Rosedale, built before the Confederacy in 1857, with a surprisingly interesting layout reflecting the fact that it was once a one-story house, and now it is three-story, with a sweeping veranda with a distinctly southern tint that hugs the facade and side of the house. A beautiful wood-paneled library can be right outside, and the basement play complex includes a full SPA, a hockey field with a ball and a wine cellar, of course, after a workout. One of the fascinating things about this house is the tunnel that runs from the main house to the coach's house in the back, diving under a well-equipped backyard and swimming pool. Wide and zigzag, well-lit and carpeted, it looks more like a linear art gallery than a tunnel. Outside, the secluded backyard descends into a gorge where there is room for a small football field or hockey rink in winter, completely surrounded by trees and privacy. There is also no shrinking violet on the pool side. The house, with five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, is big enough that you might get lost, but it retains a cozy feel that some of its more modern peers lack - just one of the few things that make this property unique.
