“Let’s all go to bed and pray we don’t wake up.”
Those were the words of the only Moira Rose – played in an exaggerated style by Catherine O’Hara – after she and her disgraced and displaced family ended up in a shady motel in the TV pop comedy “Schitt’s Creek”.
But before the Roses gave up their luxury life, they lived in a glorious megamanation in Ontario.
Now, the royal mansion used in the series is for sale for $ 15 million – and it is magnificent.
Known as La Belle Maison, the house has 12 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, occupying a huge area of 24,000 square feet. It hit the market on January 27, although it has been in and out of the market in recent years.
The house was built in 2012 in Toronto’s upscale St Andrew-Winfields neighborhood. The 0.55 acre property combines antique craftsmanship with state-of-the-art luxury amenities of the 21st century.
The three-story house has marble stairs, stunning balustrades and sculpted limestone and frescoes inspired by the Sistine Chapel.
There are several rooms suitable for large-scale entertainment, including a large formal dining room, a double reception room and a large gourmet kitchen that opens onto a private patio. The lower level adds a modern touch suitable for banquets or private weddings.
Other amenities at this opulent property include a home theater with seating for eight, a wine cellar, a billiard room, a fitness facility and indoor and outdoor pools.
And if that were not enough, it also has a sauna, games room with golf simulation system and 24 hour alarm system.
“Schitt’s Creek” aired from January 2015 to April 2020 and received critical acclaim for its writing, humor and performance. The series’ final season snatched all seven top comedy awards from the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards. The series set a new record for the highest number of Emmy awards for a comedy series in a single season, breaking a record set by Amazon “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in 2018.
