Drake's latest single "Toosie Slide" may have brought in a surge of dance-worthy impulse, but it was really his limestone embellished house that really dumbfounded his fans.

The Toronto-born rapper's $100 million manor is a definite state-of-the-art extravagance that measures a whopping 50,000 square feet. Drake purchased the extensive lot back in 2018 for $6.7 million in northeast Toronto's exclusive Bridle Path, also known as "Millionaire's Row." To secure the property's privacy, the area is surrounded by 4.4-meter tall fences, which the rapper had to ask permission for since their city's law states that residential fences exceeding two meters in height are not permitted, Highsnobiety reported.

Curated and enlivened by Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli, every detail of this monumental property has been meticulously fashioned and executed. The stately Drake Manor is a marvel of old-world craftsmanship and is solidly built on limestone, bronze exotic woods as well as other noble materials, Architectural Digest reported. The interiors are a definitive mix of the classic and the contemporary -- an explicit embodiment of the famous rapper's style and spirit.

It is indeed an overwhelming luxury, Drake told AD, and this is emphasized further by the size of the rooms, the lush choice of materials and monochromatic furnishings of the house's details. The Toronto-native rapper said he wanted to make sure people can see the reflection of the work he has put in over the years, from every vantage point.

Beyond the manor's avant-garde elegance of roaring fireplaces, gigantic chandeliers, and gold adornment, is also a boast of stellar and ultramodern amenities. Drake's monumental residence is actually home to an NBA regulation-sized basketball indoor basketball court, with an audacious pyramidal skylight hovering above it. Also, did we mention the incredulous musical toilet that is Drake's bathroom? The rapper himself showed off his very own automated water closet that plays soothing music when you enter via his Instagram story, according to Highsnobiety.

With the manor known to be dubbed as "The Embassy" by the rapper himself, Drake's 19th century inspired home actually had more to its beguiling charm and opulence. The recording artist told AD that he built his abode as a legacy to leave, hoping that it will stand firm and endure the test of time, so it had to be timeless and strong.

And indeed, beneath the lush and the regal, Drake's home is a piece of work that epitomizes strength and firmness -- one that he can attribute himself with to the place he was born.
