This 6,409 sq ft timber-frame masterpiece, meticulously crafted by Robert Langevin, captures the soulful essence of West Coast living. Wake to golden sunrises over Puget Sound and Mt. Baker, framed by towering Grand Firs and ancient Arbutus trees. The interior is a study in refined comfort, blending reclaimed wide-plank Douglas Fir and Japanese-inspired elements with modern sophistication. At the heart of the home, a newly transformed chef’s kitchen shines with elegant marble counters, premium appliances, and custom vertical-grain cabinetry. Each of the four spacious bedrooms serves as a private retreat, complete with its own walk-in closet and a beautifully updated ensuite bathroom featuring granite and designer finishes. Step outside to explore curated Japanese gardens, a tranquil gazebo, and a peaceful spring-fed pond, or wander private trails through your own old-growth forest. For the ocean adventurer, a state-of-the-art private deep-water dock and boat ramp provide immediate access to the sparkling Gulf Islands, where you can explore hidden coves and witness resident orcas in their natural habitat. This is a rare, turnkey legacy property, offered fully furnished with high-quality pieces from premium manufacturers. Superior modern infrastructure ensures year-round peace of mind, featuring a commercial-grade standby generator, high-efficiency climate control, and a designer wood-burning fireplace with a Venetian plaster hearth that radiates warmth throughout.

Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
