Forget just one room with a view—Lochley has almost an entire house dedicated to capturing nature’s best views and vistas. Make the most of a waterside or lakefront lot in this economical yet elegant floor plan, which was tailored to fit a narrow lot and has more than 1,600 square feet of main floor living space as well as almost as much on its upper and lower levels. A dovecote over the garage, multiple peaks and interesting roof lines greet guests at the street side, where a pergola over the front door provides a warm welcome and fitting intro to the interesting design. Other exterior features include trusses and transoms over multiple windows, siding, shutters and stone accents throughout the home’s three stories. The water side includes a lower-level walkout, a lower patio, an upper enclosed porch and walls of windows, all designed to take full advantage of the sun-filled site. The floor plan is all about relaxation – the kitchen includes an oversized island designed for gathering family and friends, a u-shaped butler’s pantry with a convenient second sink, while the nearby great room has built-ins and a central natural fireplace. Distinctive details include decorative wood beams in the living and kitchen areas, a dining area with sloped ceiling and decorative trusses and built-in window seat, and another window seat with built-in storage in the den, perfect for relaxing or using as a home office. A first-floor laundry and space for future elevator make it as convenient as attractive. Upstairs, an additional 1,200 square feet of living space include a master bedroom suite with a sloped 13-foot ceiling with decorative trusses and a corner natural fireplace, a master bath with two sinks and a large walk-in closet with built-in bench near the window. Also included is are two additional bedrooms and access to a third-floor loft, which could functions as a third bedroom if needed. Two more bedrooms with walk-in closets and a bath are found in the 1,300-square foot lower level, which also includes a secondary kitchen with bar, a fitness room overlooking the lake, a recreation/family room with built-in TV and a wine bar perfect for toasting the beautiful view beyond.

Dedicated laundry room - mid-sized traditional galley ceramic tile and beige floor dedicated laundry room idea in Vancouver with a drop-in sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, laminate countertops, blue walls, a side-by-side washer/dryer and gray countertops

Rather than sacrificing kitchen square footage or losing laundry to the basement, this remodel carves out a dedicated nook that keeps full-size washer and dryer units close at hand. Open wood shelving overhead adds practical storage without closing the space in, and a clean archway connects it seamlessly to the kitchen just steps away. The same warm-toned porcelain tile underfoot ties the two rooms together as one cohesive design.

A perfectly designed laundry room that blends impeccable style with effortless functionality. DeWils shaker cabinets are painted white and finished with brushed nickel podium pulls. The side-by-side washer and dryer make a convenient folding station opposite the laundry sink. The AKDO calacatta mosaic tile backsplash adds visual texture. Floors are wood grain porcelain planks.
