The David Duncan House renovations spanned a two year period between December 1986 and October 1988 when buyers scoured all of Europe in search of exquisite crystal chandeliers, sconces and unique pieces for the Art Nouveau decor that would be used. Close consultation with the City of North York Historical Board provided valuable information for the restoration of the old house to its original grandeur. The architectural attention to detail is evident in the new section which was built with matching limestone, imported bricks and gingerbread trim to carefully match and blend with the old structure. It has gained architectural fame internationally and is regarded as unique. Throughout the old and new sections, the decor is lavish and a true reflection of the expensive Art Nouveau style. The upholstery in each area is complemented by matching wallpaper and original pieces such as vases and statuettes were subtly converted to lighting converted to lighting fixtures which gracefully adorn columns and walls.

The result is a harmonious blend if a heritage home enhanced by subtle modern adornments. At The David Duncan House it is the attention paid to small details in terms of service and meal presentation which combine to make each occasion at the David Duncan House memorable.

After close consultation with the City of North York and architectural experts by the new owners, the house was prepared for its move to the new location on Moatfield Drive. The house was moved in its entirety on Sunday December 7, 1986. It currently sits on 425 acres of land in a park-like setting, that is still part of the original 200 acres of land which during the 19th century was a lush meadowland fed each spring by the Don River.
