Agent Walter Wells describes this 3,892 square foot home as "an architectural
wonder." The five bedroom, four bathroom home was custom built by the previous
owners in 1983 and is "unlike anything being brought to the market today," he
says.
"While most new homes being built do their best to reflect
the character of the 1920s and 1930s, this luxurious home was
custom-designed in a style more usually found in homes sitting
on the bluff overlooking Spanish Banks in Point Grey."
The home may be 27 years old, but it is still very "modern
and sleek with bold lines, glass block walls, skylights, rounded
corners and multiple levels," Mr Wells says.
The house has a rooftop deck and a 9 x 10 foot loft that
overlooks the master bedroom. The finished basement contains a
bedroom, storage and large, 19 by 12 foot recreation room. It
has been updated with a new wood shingle roof, cedar deck and
high-efficiency furnace. Other features include an open
staircase, solar powered hot water heat and a sunken living
room.
Located just one block from St George's Private School and
Pacific Spirit, Dunbar, and Chaldecott parks, the large 50 by
130 foot lot "provides ample space for a family and is
surrounded by mature Douglas fir trees," the agent says.
