Global attention Barry Cohen tells CTV News Toronto that the hockey rink exploded in popularity at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic after a viral social media post. The owners were contacted by the NHL to confirm the rink was theirs, after seeing children and families come to skate. “Each and every visitor, skater or spectator fell in love watching the mini-Zamboni in action,” Cohen said, adding that many ask to drive it.

Stay in for movie night Movie buffs won’t have to leave their home to go to the theatre. There is a cinema-quality theatre inside that feels almost “Gatsby-esque" due to its rich, dark walls and leather theatre chairs.(Barry Cohen Homes)
The hockey theme continues There are several tributes to the NHL seen still in the estate's basement and home gym area, including a wall with a famous Wayne Gretzky (and The Office character Michael Scott) quote. (Barry Cohen Homes)

Walk-in closets for all Though the primary bedroom has a customized closet, each bedroom has its its own walk-in closet. (Barry Cohen Homes)
Grand sweeping staircase Cohen says this home boasts more than just this winding staircase to get between floors. "You have a family or service staircase that runs to all levels, and an elevator," Cohen said. (Barry Cohen Homes)
Kitchen fit for a chef The kitchen is a foodie's dream as it comes built with bespoke cabinetry and premium appliances from Wolf and Bosch. It also can walk right out into the terrace. (Barry Cohen Homes)
Secluded, but well located Though 180 Sandringham Dr. is located near Highway 401, Cohen says the estate feels secluded. "This is definitely your cottage in the city," Cohen said. (Barry Cohen Homes)
