Property Information

This Classic Mid Century Modern split level home was designed and built in 1963. The original home grew in 1975 with a large addition and in-ground swimming pool and patios.

Original, unique, mid mod details define this home from the foyer, which features grey slate floors and African mahogany walls and closets, to the mahogany woodwork and doors, to the floor to ceiling marble fireplace in the formal living room.

The formal living room and dining room are the original MCM open concept, but don’t expect an open kitchen…. that’s not how it was done in the 60’s. There is plenty of room in the eat-in kitchen to welcome friends and family, if you want them around while you cook. The kitchen island has storage and can house your coffee bar. The kitchen dining table is attached. There are original solid mahogany cabinet boxes, newer LG stainless steel fridge (2016) and new black stainless, Bosch dishwasher in 2020. The stainless steel vintage Moffatt wall oven features coveted electric oven racks that slide up and down with the press of a button.

The 25’ x 25’ addition boasts a family room with a wall of windows overlooking the 18’ x 36’salt cell pool, the manicured gardens and the foot path which has been fenced with black powder coated aluminum fencing (installed November 2021) to complement the MCM design. The slightly under a half acre yard backs onto land which will never be developed. Filled with mature trees and a crescendo of birdsong, beyond this land is the 17th green of the SCC.

The addition also has a large 4-piece bathroom and a bedroom with a window overlooking the pool, patio and gardens. Both the family room and bedroom feature electric security shutters for privacy, shelter and reduced energy costs.

In Dec 2020 the HVAC was updated to FAG in most of the home. A new Lennox HE furnace was installed. The marble fireplace gained a gas insert for cozy fires on cold winter nights. Ductless-split heat pumps are featured in 2 bedrooms on the upper level, for your comfort. The third bedroom and bathroom are on the central air system. Originally an “All Electric” (tm)home, this characteristic has been preserved in that baseboard heaters and vintage wall thermostats are still functional should electric heating become the new desirable heating method once again.

The garage level laundry room has new washer and dryer in 2020 and also boasts a 2- piece vintage powder room so your family or guests can easily access this facility while enjoying the pool and patio. A large storage room, broom closet and garage access complete this room.

Off of the alternate garage door entrance is a room well suited as an office, with built-in teak closets and cupboards and a large south facing window with privacy blinds enclosed. An area well suited for a pantry is also featured on this level.

An ADT/Telus security system was updated in 2021 as well as a second floor fire alarm installed. This system is currently monitored 24/7.

Pool is a salt cell system which regulates chlorine and lessens the need for constant addition of pool chemicals. Included in the all-cedar pool hut/changing room, is the Dolphin electric pool cleaner with rolling stand (new 2020), all pool equipment including a manual vacuum pole, hose and head, a cover for winterizing the pool, brushes and scoopers. There is a diving board and ladder also available and of course the pool stairs. There is a rolling bar system in case you want to purchase a solar cover for the pool.

There’s plenty of room around the pool to enjoy the summer with family and friends, have a BBQ (can also be included) and overlook the quiet serenity and privacy of a backyard oasis where no one will ever build behind your home.

The upper floor in an original 60’s split level, houses the private area. There are 3 bedrooms and a 5-piece bathroom. The larger bedroom has 2 grand closets with mahogany doors. Each family bedroom also has a spacious floor to ceiling closet with mahogany doors. The bedrooms face south while the larger bedroom faces out to the back gardens, pool and patio area.

Basement - Vintage bar and lighting. Home gym and games area with mahogany storage closets and open shelving. There is ample storage within the 2 utility rooms. One houses the new furnace while the other contains a new water softener and drinking water treatment system installed Dec 2021. Water heater 2018. Spare fridge and freezer. There is also work bench and storage area for the handy-person.
