17 Moodie Drive Toronto

Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Toronto home on sale for $5 million

Despite Frank Lloyd Wright's passing in the mid-1900s, his architectural concepts continue to serve as a wellspring of inspiration globally, influencing designs such as this Richmond Hill estate.

"It is considered Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired because it really models after his work in simple, plain geometry. It is an ultra modern home with layers and perspective," said the home's 2010 listing agent Bill Thom in a Toronto Star feature about it. 

As you approach, the sleek design elements of 17 Moodie Dr. catch the eye immediately.
