In the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, there are few natural landmarks that are as iconic as the North Shore Mountains, whose distinctive twin peaks are also known as the Lions.

At the western base of the Lions, between the mountains and the waters of Howe Sound, you'll find the Village of Lions Bay — a cozy residential community with a population of less than 1,500. It's one of BC's smallest municipalities, by land area, but it's also one of the most scenic, as is evident in 170 Highview Place, a property that's currently on the market asking $2,385,000.

The property is located in the heart of Lions Bay, with the Erin Moore Trail that leads up to the West Lion practically in the backyard. It's also within walking distance of the Lions Bay General Store and Cafe, as well as the Lions Bay Marina and Lions Bay Beach Park, both of which look out onto Howe Sound.

The two-storey home was originally constructed in 1973 with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and just under 2,400 sq. ft of living space. It sits upon a 0.31-acre lot that's tucked within a quiet, tree-lined residential neighbourhood.

Specs

The main level of the home features a spacious living room that greets you on entry, providing clear views of Howe Sound. Around the corner waits a beautiful chef's kitchen, which features finely crafted wooden cabinetry, marble countertops, and a collection of high-performance stainless steel appliances.

Just off the kitchen sits a charming dining area, perfectly situated to welcome in an abundance of natural light — via both the windows and skylight.

Offering multiple places to retreat for some R&R, also on the main level you'll find three of the home's four bedrooms. This includes the 12' x 18' primary bed, equipped with a 14' x 9' walk-in closet — and elegant ensuite bath.

Our Favourite Thing

Wrapped around the rear of the home is a large outdoor deck with plenty of additional living space. Because the property sits on an elevated perch surrounded by tall trees, the deck captures the feeling of being atop a treehouse in the forest, with elevated and panoramic views of the stunning surroundings and Howe Sound.

The other main level bedrooms are also airy and spacious, with the last remaining bedroom — located on the lower level of the home — actually being the largest of the lot, sprawling 17' x 21'. Another large family room and a flex room are also waiting on the lower level, where you'll find a large stone-framed fireplace as well.

Indeed, this home captures a west-coast-modern feel, with an emphasis on the "modern," as seen in its fine finishes and a whole host of contemporary renovations. Perhaps this is why people often call the west coast the best coast.
