The skinny: Five-bedroom, six-bathroom, 6,328-square-foot house in West Vancouver

The chic: This stunning two-storey home sits on a spacious 15,029-square-foot estate. For those who want to be in the city but still enjoy privacy, this south-facing property boasts no neighbours to the west. Enjoy quiet mornings and evenings as you look out the floor-to-ceiling windows towards the view of the ocean and Stanley Park.

Inside the home, you’ll find light marble walls and cream tiled floors, as well as high ceilings, which create a bright and airy space. Take a walk up the grandiose bifurcated staircase, which is lit by LED lights under the treads to add a modern touch. A low-hanging geometric chandelier also decorates the bottom of the staircase, providing an eye-catching design touch. The upper level houses the main bathroom (complete with dual vanity,) an entertainment room with a pool table, and bedrooms leading to a private balcony. What’s more, the bedrooms downstairs lead to an outdoor escape to the backyard pool and seating area with a portable fireplace. Enjoy your days outdoors in the comfort of your own backyard while being surrounded by nature’s evergreen trees.

The hidden extras: Located at the foot of Cypress Bowl Road, living in this home also means quick access to the Cypress Ski Resort for some fun in the snow during the chilly months.
