The big sell: Ambleside Mews is a collection of four separate homes situated on one large West Vancouver lot with private outdoor spaces as well as a shared landscaped garden. Central to the enclave is this home – the heritage Rush House. Originally built in 1923, this landmark property has been completely restored while respecting its traditional features. Stained-glass panels, wood soffits and covered porches celebrate the character of the home while solid quartz countertops, white Shaker millwork, fully-integrated premium appliances and radiant heat provide stylish modern conveniences. The developer raised the original house and created a garden suite underneath, essentially converting it into (in accordance with the Heritage Revitalization Agreement) an up/down duplex. Detached garden and coach houses complete this community.
