The big sell: This contemporary-style house was not only crafted with walls of glass to showcase dramatic views of the Fraser Valley and Mount Baker but also designed to provide a venue for entertaining with rooms that seamlessly flow from the indoors to outside. It was built in 2015 with a great room-style main floor that combines a state-of-the-art kitchen (complete with Jenn-Air and Fisher & Paykel appliances and quartz countertops) with dining and living areas complemented by a crisp white colour palette and a 15-foot-long NanaWall that opens to an expansive covered deck. A floating staircase leads to the upper level where the master bedroom suite and an office reside while the lowest level contains three further bedrooms, media, games and flex rooms. A pantry and storage areas on each floor have been wired for an elevator and shaft while four-legged family members have also been catered for with a fenced dog run. A triple-car garage completes the package.
