If Santa ever decides to relocate to Canada, we've found the perfect Ontario mansion for him.

This house in Parkhill, Ontario, is on sale for $474,900, and it features a piano parlour, red velvet carpets, a huge backyard, and a gigantic workshop in the basement.

The house was built in 1890 and it is massive, sitting at 2600 square feet on a lot that's just over half-an-acre in size.

The inside is grand as well, with 10-foot-tall ceilings throughout the main and upper floors.

The house decor is a mix of classic and modern, with the parlour's chaise longue and piano falling firmly in the former category.

There are two bathrooms in the house, and they also embody the house's mix of styles.
