2889 Allan Road, North Vancouver

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Lynn Valley! Now is the time to own this Richard Kadulski designed, architecturally significant masterpiece home built in 1982.

Set on a private 2/3-acre, cul-de-sac lot, the property is extensively landscaped and is one of the top ten large, useable lots in the neighbourhood. Multi-levels of decking, firepit with seating, and a private bridge over Hastings Creek take the property to the next level for entertaining or enjoying the tranquil sounds of nature without leaving home.

Recently remodelled, this entertainer’s dream combines tradition with contemporary design, with natural light flooding in through three-story-high, floor-to-ceiling windows. The home’s original interior cedar was refinished in 2015, and at the same time, the exterior was fully redone with cedar cladding. The house also has updated electrical and plumbing throughout, and a new, resin-type roof was installed last year.

Inside the home, there are several noteworthy features that capture attention and create a higher level of comfortable living. The custom kitchen has been updated with mahogany custom cabinetry and quartz kitchen counters, and features multiple cooking options plus gas fireplace, large island, and plenty of space for guests to move about without worrying about “too many cooks in the kitchen.” This spacious entertaining area has great visual appeal and conversation pieces, such as the vaulted bookshelf with sliding ladder.

A spiral, cast-iron staircase is a visual stunner, rising from the home’s bottom floor up to the top master suite. This private oasis which fully occupies the top floor features a walk-in closet of huge proportion, a yoga zen-den and ensuite with wet steam sauna. Italian porcelain tiles grace all the home’s bathrooms, with comfort provided by heated floors. The lower level is ready for a nanny or in-law suite, and there is lots of storage available under the outside decking as well as within interior crawl spaces.

Oversized patio doors provide exit to 4100 sq ft of decking, terraced on four levels and ready for entertaining a few or a few dozen. The space includes gas connections for external heating elements, allowing for year-round enjoyment. The deck overlooks nothing but nature, surrounded by towering trees to provide privacy and sound barrier. A large fire pit with built-in, levelled seating is adjacent to the deck, and just steps further is a natural trail leading to Hastings Creek, with a private bridge across the water. The property’s large driveway accommodates multiple vehicles away from the street.

This magnificent North Shore home is just steps away from the fun of big city lifestyle, with the advantage of being tucked away for added privacy and quiet.
