Lottery dream home will have you in lap of luxury

Property in South Surrey’s Grandview Heights features infrared sauna, chef’s kitchen, home theatre and other ‘elegant’ features

- LIN STRANBERG

The elegant front door of the new B.C. Children’s Dream Lottery top home opens up a spacious 5,000 square feet of luxury living. On a large corner lot looking north “on the slope” in Surrey’s up-and-coming Grandview Heights neighbourh­ood, the dream home overlooks lush farmlands with stunning views of the North Shore Mountains on the horizon.

Created by the husbandand-wife, builder-designer team of Arvi and Jas Rai at MGR Group, the five-bedroom family home has wish list-worthy features like a built-in infrared sauna, a home gym, chef ’s kitchen with an oversized Thermador wall fridge plus a separate spice kitchen, home theatre with a 114-inch screen, wine cooler wall display unit and an elevator. The master bedroom has the feel of a hotel suite with a romantic Juliet balcony open to the great room and its coffered 21-foot ceiling. In turn, a wall of folding glass doors opens up the great room to let the outdoors in.

Sensationa­l contempora­ry chrome and crystal chandelier­s are attention-grabbing focal points, hanging from the high ceilings on all three levels.

“The chandelier­s show the richness of the space and the detailing of the interior architectu­re,” said Jas. “When designing the home, I really thought about how I would want my own dream home to be and I took that as my guideline. Every inch of space is designed for luxury living.”

The house, although decidedly upscale, still exudes the warm and easy feel of a comfortabl­e lifestyle.

“This home had a very elegant feel with beautiful chandelier­s and marble throughout, so we built on that, adding a lot of texture and colour for a more casually elegant space,” said interior designer Debbie Heal of Sunrae Design. “We started off by finding a velvet fabric in a smoky blue at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, where we sourced all the furnishing­s. Thinking outside the box, we then separated the two sectional pieces with an end table in between. We flanked the fireplace with two chairs, creating a conversati­on grouping, then grounded the seating area with a round carpet.”

The generous proportion­s of the home and its multi-level living spaces will more than satisfy the varied demands of a busy contempora­ry family. With its fabulous recreation­al and functional features, this dream home will lift the spirits and lifestyle of the entire family fortunate enough to live here.
