When it comes to real estate in Ontario there are a lot of builder-basic homes that are the housing equivalent to a yawn.

This is especially true when you start to get into the suburbs of the GTA, where entire neighbourhoods are made up of identical houses sprinkled with the odd McMansion.

So when we see a home that’s truly unique, like 295 King’s Summit Road, we get excited.

This is the first time this three-bedroom, one-bathroom home has been on the market since it was built.

While blogTO couldn’t get the exact details of when the home was built or who the architect was, we’d hazard a guess of the 1970s. The home is very mid-century modern with nods to Frank Llyod Wright-esque design principles.

The home sits on a whopping 2.04-acre lot just outside of Toronto.

With plenty of nature and the tranquillity of this green oasis, it’s a rare escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Not to mention, it provides a sense of peace and seclusion that’s truly priceless.

And while the home has a modern design-feel to it, there’s also a rustic cabin vibe with all the natural wood and low ceilings in the bedroom.

From its unique architectural elements to the cozy nooks, this home tells a story.

As for the next chapter of the story, there’s definitely going to be some substantial renovations and updates needed.

But whether you’re captivated by its eccentricity or eager to infuse your personality into the space, the possibilities are as vast as your imagination.
