Beautiful ! Seeing it from those different angles makes it look more like the {Sprawling Mansion} that I have read so much about. :)

All very ""AMAZING"" & interesting read >>>>> 9.8 million ??? :confused: Gee... I wonder if I should wait to buy 5 Beaumont !!!! :rolleyes: :eek: :redface: :whistle: I think I will. :biggrin:
This afternoon I was on "Google street view" on the Glen road in Rosedale & then you make a left on that famous Beaumont Rd, but I looked towards the city just before turning on Beaumont & you can see that CN Tower in the distance.
It sure would be nice to see a photo of the place that he now lives in... (Bridle Path) new modern houses (castles) I guess ?
But I myself prefer those old Victorian Mansions !!!
Thanks Ron J. for those nice pics you took & Char for posting them & please continue posting these whenever you can ! :)

some very nice properties on Beaumont..it's funny that they all have 'turrets" like the ones ont he OPera House in Orillia where Gord grew up..perhpas they influenced his decision on buying the home on Beaumont so long ago.

The Friendly Giant had lots of turrets on his castle, maybe Gord & Bev were fans of the show as kids ?? ;)
