“We just listed Premier Doug Ford’s Princess Anne Manor home!” the ad for real estate agent Monica Thapar proudly proclaimed, though the agent was eventually forced to withdraw the campaign after a few words from the prime minister. Just over two weeks later, a listing for the premier’s home at 6 Tettenhall Road appeared on Realtor.ca with a sale price of $3,199,888. And it also looks like Monica Thapar wasn’t canned for her little publicity stunt as her name appears in the listing. Touted with the line “everything you’d expect from an executive residence,” the listing continues to gush over the “large lot on a beautiful tree-lined street in the prestigious Princess Anne Manor neighborhood.” The nearly 4,500-square-foot home has six bedrooms and four bathrooms, plenty of room to raise a family with several children whose names all begin with the letter K. The master bedroom has a generous en suite bathroom with “his and hers” (a bit presumptuous, no?) walk-in closets. The main one also has a balcony overlooking the outdoor swimming pool of the residence. Four more upper-level bedrooms each offer walk-in closets, at least one of which is prominently positioned for listing properties with Gucci shopping bags. They vary in size and decor, but most rooms are quite spacious with plenty of luxurious-looking lighting. The upper bedrooms share a pair of semi-private bathrooms. The kitchen is a strange mix of modern and ’80s chic, a mix of warm wood finishes and tiles that don’t match the gleaming stainless steel built-in appliances. The home’s advertised suburban lifestyle comes complete with a pool and backyard lounge. But if there’s one room integral to the history of the Ford family dynasty, it’s the basement. Whether through stories of the late Rob Ford smoking crack in a Windsor Road basement or Doug Ford announcing his candidacy for PC leader from his mum’s sunken business centre. And it doesn’t disappoint, with a big screen TV and comfortable seat either accelerating or irreparably damaging your political ascension. DoFo’s Etobicoke home can be yours for just under $3.2 million, not including Gucci bags (probably).
