$13 million Ontario mansion looms where a tiny bungalow once stood

Back when 1 Sunflower Ct. sold in 2016 for just under $3 million, it was a dated four-bedroom bungalow with wall-to-wall carpeting everywhere. 

Now, if Beyoncé and Jay-Z were house hunting in Toronto's suburbs for some reason, this is the place their real estate agent would take them.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Thornhill's Bayview Glen area, 1 Sunflower Court is the kind of property that doesn't just say luxury, it screams it like Succession's Logan Roy.

The space between the kitchen and the family room. 

Designed by architect Richard Wengle and curated by Raphael Gomes Interiors, this mansion is more palace than home.

The living room with a cozy fireplace. 

Let's start with the fact that the listing makes it seem like it was built for actual royalty.

The primary bedroom. 

There's the "King and Queen's Sanctuary," which, in more normal terms, is a primary suite.

One of the primary bedroom ensuites. 

The primary suite features dual spa-inspired bathrooms and two separate custom walk-in closets that are bigger than most Toronto condos.

Another bedroom. 

Then there's the "Prince and Princess Bedrooms" (read: children's bedrooms) each with their own private spa ensuites.

Another bedroom. 

Because obviously, we don't expect junior royalty to share.

An ensuite bathroom. 

In total, there are five bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, just in case you needed to keep count. 

The dining room. 

Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed for next-level comfort and a wow factor.

Floor-to-ceiling windows let in tons of natural light. 

On the main floor, there are the large, bright and curated principal rooms with 10-foot ceilings. 

The kitchen. 

The kitchen features Miele appliances, including a built-in coffee station, microwave, oven, and a Wolf gas cooktop that would make Gordon Ramsay weep.

The butler's kitchen. 

Oh, and of course, there's a butler's kitchen with its own full suite of appliances, because we wouldn't want guests to see your chef pre-chopping the shallots.

The basement. 

In the basement, there's even more luxury, starting with radiant heated floors.

The sauna room. 

There's also a recreation zone, wet bar, full gym, sauna, home theatre, and a sun-drenched lounge with walk-up access to the tranquil pool area.

The family room. 

However, living like royalty does come with a hefty price tag. 

A home office. 

1 Sunflower Ct. is listed for $12,980,000.

The backyard. 

Although if this were the Bridle Path, it would probably be double that.
