Markham estate "Grand Palazzo Cachet" lists for $8.8 million with Italian Renaissance design

A newly listed Italian Renaissance-inspired estate in Markham is bringing old-world European grandeur to the GTA. The property at 15 Sylvia Court in Cachet Estates is listed for $8,800,000 and sits on nearly two acres.

Spanning more than 15,000 square feet, the mansion lives up to its name, "Grand Palazzo Cachet." Its dramatic entrance features 24-foot ceilings, with 11-foot ceilings continuing throughout the rest of the house, creating an overwhelming sense of scale. Natural stone, custom millwork, imported finishes, and radiant heated limestone floors across all three levels add to the home's old-world European aesthetic.

The Great Room is a standout space, combining a formal living room with a piano salon beneath soaring ceilings. Multiple French doors open onto a sprawling terrace with wrought-iron railings overlooking the grounds. The home includes formal entertaining rooms, casual family spaces, and a gourmet kitchen designed for hosting large gatherings.

There are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms on the main two levels. The primary suite features a spa-inspired ensuite and expansive dressing areas. The lower level is fully finished with walkout access to the grounds and includes additional flexible space for recreation, entertaining, or multigenerational living.

Outside, the nearly 1.93-acre property features professionally landscaped gardens, mature trees, manicured lawns, elegant stone terraces, and a private tennis court, making it feel more like a country estate than a suburban home. Despite its secluded feel, the property is close to major highways, shopping, restaurants, golf courses, and several highly regarded public and private schools.

The asking price is a significant jump from its last sale. According to property records, it changed hands in 2012 for $3,799,800, meaning it is now listed for roughly $5 million more than its previous sale price.
