The house that math bought: James Stewart’s Integral House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Do you have an extra 28 million dollars burning a hole in your pocket? Then the award-winning \u201cIntegral House\u201d, which includes its own private concert area, could be yours<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Located in the coveted Rosedale neighbourhood (194 Roxborough Dr.) Integral House is one of Toronto\u2019s most prized homes. It was built by mathematician Dr. James Stewart, who made his mark as the author of \u00a0the de facto\u00a0first-year university calculus textbook which continues to sell\u00a0millions of copies worldwide. Stewart was also a violinist, and former member of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, and life-long lover of the arts and LGBT causes.<\/p>\n

The house became a popular private music venue (especially during Pride week) and holds up to 150 people.<\/p>\n

The focal point of the 18,000 square foot house is a main living area and concert space, which features limestone floors, a long stairwell with hand-blown blue glass, an outdoor pool area, and an astonishing view overlooking the ravine below.<\/p>\n

The house, which has been called one of the “most important private houses in North America<\/a>”\u00a0by\u00a0Glenn D. Lowry, director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, was designed by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects and completed in 2009. It was also the\u00a0winner of the 2009 Architectural Woodwork Award.<\/p>\n

Leaving a legacy of architecture, classical music and mathematics behind him, Stewart <\/a>died of cancer on December 3rd<\/sup> 2014. It is reported that his estate executors will use most of the funds from the sale of the property to donate to Stewart\u2019s favourite arts and scientific organizations.<\/p>\n
