Nope, owner occupied for a year. The guy was a successful developer and
built it himself. He's retiring this year.

Well it is an architecturally controlled restricted neighbourhood. There
was a lot and a half, beside a nature trail, high up on a hill over
looking Back Bay and Joliffe Island. The home was huge, with 10 foot
high ceilings, a very energy efficient high tech twin boiler system,
infloor heating, quarry tile and solid maple hardwood throughout,
stainless steel commercial kitchen etc. There was an 1800 square foot
2 bedroom nanny suite in the walkout basement.
