A complete overhaul brought modern flare to this boring boxy home. Its owners desired to make a statement of personality and simple elegance, while optimizing the house for its spectacular views and natural light. The previously dark and closed off kitchen was relocated to become a beautiful focal point in the new huge open-concept great room. A massive split-level eating-bar island grounds the kitchen in the expansive space, while the oversized marble herringbone backsplash lends sophisticated designer texture. The entire south-facing home takes in breathtaking views of Burrard Inlet. The house is stylish, inviting, and warm, and it’s owners tell us they never want to leave!
