“We’re all going to sleep and pray we don’t wake up.”
These were the words of the only Moira Rose, played in an exaggerated style by Catherine O’Hara, after she and her dishonored and displaced family ended up in an obsolete motel in the television comedy Pop Schitt’s Creek.
But before the roses left their luxurious lives, they lived in a glorious megamansion in Ontario.
Now the actual mansion used in the series is on sale for $ 15 million and is magnificent.
Known as La Belle Maison, the house has 12 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, with a huge area of 24,000 square feet. It hit the market on January 27, although it has been on and off the market for the past few years.
The house was built in 2012 in Toronto’s luxury St. Andrew-Winfields neighborhood. The 0.55-acre property combines ancient craftsmanship with state-of-the-art luxury amenities of the 21st century.
The three-story house features marble staircases, stunning balustrade balconies and carved limestone and frescoes inspired by the Sistine Chapel.
There are several rooms suitable for large-scale entertainment, such as a large formal dining room, a double reception room and a large gourmet kitchen overlooking a private patio. The lower level adds a modern twist suitable for banquet meetings or private weddings.
Other options at the opulent estate include an eight-person home cinema, a wine cellar, a billiard room, a fitness center and indoor and outdoor pools.
And if that wasn’t enough, it also has a sauna, a games room with a golf simulation system and a 24-hour alarm system.
“Schitt’s Creek” aired from January 2015 to April 2020 and received critical acclaim for its writing, humor, and acting. The final season of the series swept the seven major comedy awards at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards. The series set a new record for most Emmy wins for a comedy series in a single season, surpassing the record for Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in 2018.
