Designer and Muskoka Living founder, Cory DeFrancisco, reimagined a dated 1980s Mediterranean into a 9,000-square-foot design dream. Located in the heart of Brentwood Park, this home is a striking example of California style meeting Muskoka Living’s signature craftsmanship.
Project Highlights
- 7 Bedrooms + 7 Baths
- Curving Limestone Fireplace with hand-crafted white oak surround
- Fluted Oak Walls & Organic Textures throughout the home
- ILVE–Anchored Kitchen with Calacatta Reclusa marble and a sweeping white-oak island
- Resort-Style Pool & Spa with a guest-ready pool house offering seamless indoor-outdoor living
- Custom Millwork, Lighting & Artwork crafted entirely in-house by Muskoka Living
- Warm Palette of Browns, Clay, Cream, and Gray for a timeless, tactile finish
Cory and Catherine DeFrancisco wanted more than a showpiece; they wanted a home their boys and their friends could enjoy. Nearly every detail, from sofas and cabinetry to lighting and wall art, was fabricated by Muskoka Living’s team, creating a cohesive, curated, and unmistakably bespoke aesthetic.
“We didn’t want to live in a museum. We wanted a comfortable, welcoming, and beautiful home, where our kids would have fun.”
—Catherine DeFrancisco
The result is a home that is as livable as it is luxurious, a signature Muskoka Living masterpiece that blends modern sophistication with family-friendly warmth.
