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.

Inside you'll find that 17 Moodie Dr. effortlessly blends modernist elements with warm, inviting decor, creating a harmonious relationship of nature and architectural finesse.

You'll notice that clean lines meet picture windows, inviting the outdoors in and creating a sense of harmony with the lush surroundings.
The house boasts four bedrooms, six bathrooms and more than 6,000 square-feet of living space.
Reflecting Wright's focus on functionality and comfort, the lower level surprises with an in-law suite, featuring a second kitchen, a cozy bedroom, and a well-appointed living space – a welcome addition during the holidays when you need to host family or guests.
