Ultra-modern Ontario home for $8 million has dazzling illuminated ceilings

New builds often get a bad rap for being soulless, grey boxes devoid of any kind of character and charm. 

And while there certainly are many new builds that are those things, every now and again, a new build comes along that is just as charming and character-filled as a century-old home. 

And this one happens to be in Kleinburg, Ontario.

The front entrance. 

178 Rushworth Cres. is a stunning contemporary home with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, over 9,000 square feet of living space, and the potential for all the amenities of a luxury home you could want. 

The view from the foyer. 

Right from the get-go, this house has character with Victorian-era gas lanterns, intricate gabled walls, and custom window mullions.

A home office with a fireplace. 

In other words, the exterior of the house is a perfect blend of traditional and modern. 

The dining area. 

Inside, the seamless integration of traditional and contemporary design continues. 

The open-concept living, dining and kitchen areas. 

The home is bright, spacious, and calming, while the engineered white oak floors and panelled ceilings add plenty of warmth. 

Vaulted ceilings and large industrial windows make the space feel bright and airy. 

Personally, the integrated LEDs are not for me as they remind me of YouTuber homes, but the warm tone does add a nice soft glow to all the spaces. 

The living room. 

The limewashed walls also add texture and character to what could otherwise be a stark space. 

The kitchen. 

The kitchen is open-concept and features a massive marble island that would be perfect for entertaining. 

One of the bedrooms. 

Upstairs you have the bedrooms. Each bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own ensuite bathroom.

The primary bedroom. 

However, the primary suite is truly on the next level, with a floating fireplace, sitting area, and coffee bar.

The primary bathroom with a sauna. 

And it actually has spa amenities, not just spa-like amenities. The primary suite features a sauna, and a private terrace that's equipped for a hot tub or cold plunge pool. 

The basement recreation room and home office. 

As for the lower level of the house, it hasn't been fully decked out yet, but it has heated floors and industrial-style windows.

Space for a home theatre or gym or whatever your heart desires. 

It's also ready for a home theatre, bar, gym and games room; you just need to buy the stuff.
