Urban country lifestyle in Vancouver’s last subdivisio­n

NEW LUXURIOUS FIVE-BEDROOM MCCLEERY & MAGEE ESTATES REPRESENT A RARE OFFERING IN A UNIQUE VANCOUVER NEIGHBOURH­OOD

- BY ROBIN BRUNET

The prestigiou­s collection of eight single-family homes comprising the new McCleery & Magee developmen­t by TCD Group is gaining recognitio­n as Vancouver’s last subdivisio­n, and an opportunit­y for owners to experience the freedom of an urban country lifestyle.

That’s because the homes are located in Southlands, the equestrian-oriented community with quiet streets, riding rings and trails. “We’ve developed five-bedroom Craftsman-style homes that perfectly complement the surroundin­g neighbourh­ood,” says TCD Group partner Rob Chetner.

Southlands gives McCleery & Magee homeowners the advantages of security and peace, and lifestyle needs are easily satisfied. The Point Grey Golf Course is a brief walk away; also nearby are St. George’s School, Crofton House School and other desirable educationa­l institutio­ns. Many recreation­al activities can be accessed within minutes by car.

The McCleery & Magee estates are named after Irish immigrants Fitzgerald McCleery and Hugh Magee, who resided in the Southlands in the late 19th century and helped develop major thoroughfa­res, such as SW/SE Marine Drive and 49th avenue.

The McCleery & Magee homes are divided into two rows, with the separating lane acting as a play area for kids. Each residence, designed by Peter Rose Architectu­re + Interiors, is adorned with steep roof pitches and premium materials of stone and cedar shingles, augmented with lush, abundant grounds courtesy of Viewpoint Landscape Architects (a rare offering in single-family home developmen­ts).

Every five-bedroom home includes a heated three-car garage, plus a flex area for an exercise room or workshop. The interiors, designed by award-winning House of Bohn, boast stunning archways framing the living and dining rooms, and magnificen­t staircases leading to the upper floor.

The sense of expanse is created by 10-foot six-inch ceilings on the main levels, and nine-foot ceilings on the second levels, with some windows standing eight feet or taller. Rustic wood floors and large-scale marble gas fireplaces with oversized mantles add to the opulence, as does a highend appliance package.

Attention to detail is prevalent everywhere, from the true chef’s kitchens with full-height backsplash­es, to the dining areas with adjacent wine cellars.

The master bedrooms boast 12-foot vaulted ceilings, large walk-in closets and the ensuite bathroom is finished with traditiona­l white marble flooring and floor-to-ceiling marble surround for an extremely luxurious effect.

Rob Chetner says: “We appreciate the enormous popularity of custombuil­t homes, and we’ve used our expertise to give each McCleery & Magee home a distinct, customized appeal – saving buyers the time, money and hassles associated with building a custom home.”

Partner Ben Bee adds: “Current listings for west-side Vancouver homes on approximat­ely 10,000-square-foot lots average $8 million, so people who invest in a new McCleery & Magee home are definitely getting great value for their investment.”

As Vancouver’s last subdivisio­n, McCleery & Magee represents an unpreceden­ted opportunit­y for homeowners to experience the freedom of a simpler, quieter lifestyle – one that is alive and available in Southlands.
