Shakespeare’s Macbeth was a darkish tragedy, however there’s nothing darkish (or tragic) about this six-bedroom, eight- toilet residence on West Vancouver’s Macbeth Crescent. Fairly the other, in reality.
With 20-foot ceilings within the nice room and a wall of home windows to match, plus quite a few home windows strategically positioned all through, there are many entry factors to let the solar shine in all day lengthy. But it surely doesn’t lack for privateness: this residence, designed by Marque Thompson with inside design by Raveninside, supplies the perfect of each worlds, says itemizing agent Peter Joudaki of Progressive Vancouver Staff/Angell Hasman & Associates Realty Ltd.
“You possibly can’t see anyone from inside however you don’t lack solar. Normally that’s the trade-off: You get a non-public lot however it’s darkish, otherwise you get a vivid lot however you see the roofs of different homes exterior your window, or it’s important to shut your blinds at sure instances of the day. (Right here you get) tremendous sunny, tremendous personal.”
And that makes a distinction if you’re spending time on the half acre of garden and terraced backyard having fun with the pool (with computerized cowl), sizzling tub, hearth pit, or on the coated lanai with its out of doors chef’s kitchen.
One other uncommon standout? The yard creek with spawning salmon. “You possibly can truly see the salmon that spawn all year long, so (the proprietor) arrange seating and a fireplace pit alongside the creek to observe them,” says Joudaki. “Most creeks run just a little stronger and faster, however this one, Wagg Creek, may be very calm and stress-free.

On the entrance entranceway, down a couple of steps to an enormous glass pivot door, sits a completely coated lounge space. “They designed it like that as a result of they know that in Vancouver we get 5 to 6 months, probably, of rain,” says Joudaki. “And once they’re internet hosting, they don’t need their friends ready exterior within the rain for his or her automobile or taxi to reach.”
As soon as by that vast pivot door, a phenomenal, hand-blown Bocci chandelier hangs from the 20-foot ceilings of the good room.
A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace reaches to cedar planking overhead. White oak, extra cedar, pale stone, and blackened metal completes the palette. Take the floating oak staircase or elevator to succeed in all three ranges.

The householders selected Italian porcelain counter tops made by Macchia Vecchia versus marble for its practicality. “Actual marble may be very porous,” says Joudaki. “They’ve two children, so that they wished their kitchen to be sturdy. They wished to cook dinner and hang around and never have (the counters) probably stained or discoloured.”

However if you see it from the yard, the size and the way it unfolds is unbelievable.”
