This $9 million Toronto home was built by a famous architect
Sometimes modern houses can feel boring, cold, uninviting, and just a bit blah, leaning more towards "untouchable art gallery" vibes rather than an actual home you'd want to live in.
However, 123 Forest Heights Blvd. is an ultra modern home that manages to be feel like a place you might actually enjoy living in.
The kitchen, breakfast area, and family room.
Designed by famed architect Michael Lafrenière, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home feels very zen with clean lines and open-concept living spaces.
The dining room features built-in cabinetry and a walk-out to the backyard.
The home is bright, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and abundance of skylights, and is filled with charm and character.
The living room with a gas fireplace.
Shocking, we know.
The staircase with a walnut partition.
From the walnut staircase to the custom reveals and millwork, the home also has a bit of a mid-century vibe to it.
The front entrance.
When you enter the home, you're greeted with heated marble flooring and nine-foot, built-in walnut closets.
The family room.
The entryway connects to the family room and the open-concept living and dining spaces.
The sleek kitchen.
The kitchen is modern and sleek with all the amenities you'd expect in modern luxury homes, such as a servery, walk-in pantry, and luxury appliances from Miele and Sub Zero.
The library with a fireplace.
Possibly the most stunning space in the house is the library with vaulted two-storey ceilings, floor-to-ceiling built-in walnut shelving and cabinetry, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.
The powder room off the library with a floating vanity.
It's drool-worthy.
The backyard with a firepit.
The home also blends the indoors and outdoors really well, with 23-foot-long custom glass doors that open straight to the backyard.
The pool and hot tub.
Speaking of, the backyard has a beautiful heated pool and hot tub.
A bedroom with built-in closet and desk.
On the second floor, you'll find the bedrooms.
The primary bedroom.
The primary bedroom features a luxury eight-piece ensuite and has a walk-in closet worthy of a swanky boutique.
Another bedroom with a built-in wraparound desk.
The other bedrooms are spacious and come with their own ensuite, so there will never be any fighting over who gets to shower first.
The rec room.
The lower level of the house is no afterthought, either.
The gym with a basement walk-out.
It comes decked out with a recreation room, gym, and spa with a steam shower and cedar sauna.
The back of the house.
123 Forest Heights Blvd. is currently listed for $8,880,000.
