Sold! The Tesla of Toronto homes goes for almost $2.5 million

This Toronto home was advertised as the "Tesla" of real estate – for it's winning combination of green energy and exceptional design. 

The home is located in the Beaches and was designed by award-winning architect Felix Leicher.

It is stunning with it's use of natural materials, clean lines and bright open spaces. 

The green features include things like low water use faucets, energy efficient appliances, a white metal roof to minimize summer heat intake and more!

The house boasts four bedrooms above ground and has a separate in-law suite in the basement. This could easily be turned into a rental unit or an Airbnb for some extra income. 

The main floor is crisp and minimalist by design. The white oak floors and high ceilings make the space bright and airy. 

The bedrooms upstairs are a bit on the small side but cozy enough. 

The master suite is on the third floor with an en suite bathroom, walk-in closet and a patio.

I also like the slopped ceiling with the sky-lights that allow for extra light in the space. 

The backyard has lots of patio space and is low maintenance in that there's no lawn to mow.
