Ontario house with a wacky postmodern design is for sale at $5.5 million
Does this Ontario house look like it was created by AI trained on images of 1980s dream homes? Kind of. But, is it? Surprisingly, no.
75 Kingsworth Rd. in King, Ontario, looks a bit like a postmodernist take on a castle, with the turrets resembling Maya Ballgame rings.
The inside also looks a bit AI-generated, with a cornucopia of competing design styles.
As you enter the home you're greeted by an European style chandelier and marble floors in the foyer.
But as you make your way through the house, you'll find a very 80s Art Deco meets glam kitchen with the shiny black and white cabinets and counter tops.
The living room has a hint of mid-century with an all-brick fireplace and feature walls.
75 Kingsworth Rd. boasts five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
There's not much to say about the bedrooms or bathrooms; they're honestly pretty dated, but the primary bedroom has views of the pond.
It's a unique house for sure and if you can get past the mishmash of design styles. Listing agent Erez Henya tells blogTO that the house is designed so that you can see the surrounding nature from every part of the house.
But, let's be honest, the house isn't the true selling point. The actual selling point of 75 Kingsworth Rd. is the land it sits on.
In fact, even when the house was on the market back in 2020, it was being sold for its potential to renovate or create your "dream home".
The current owners did not fully seize that opportunity, as the home has remained largely unchanged since it was purchased for $1,890,000 in 2020.
The property consists of a whopping 6.6 acres with a private pond and private nature trails.
"It is one of the largest lots in the Kingscross Estates and the private trails in the back that feels like you are in Muskoka," said Henya.
But is that worth the $5,400,888 asking price? That's up to the buyer.
Yes, the grounds are beautiful, but real estate prices haven't gone up almost 200 per cent in the last four years to reflect the current price.
They've only really gone up like 30 per cent, and right now the Ontario real estate market isn't doing so hot.
Also, the fact that 75 Kingsworth Rd. has been listed three times this year, going as low as $4,988,000, but still hasn't sold means it might not be priced to prospective buyers' liking.
Needless to say, I wouldn't be surprised if this postmodern castle takes a while to find a new monarch.
