WHITE ROCK PRIZE HOME SHOWCASES STELLAR DESIGN AND OCEAN OUTLOOKS

- G. MARION JOHNSON

Simple, uncluttere­d spaces with smooth, clean lines may be the hallmarks of modern design, but in homes, the style can sometimes come across as a little too stark, almost clinical.

That’s certainly not the case at the White Rock residence that’s one of seven grandprize options at the 2018 BC Children’s Hospital Choices Lottery. With engineered hardwood flooring, a large gas fireplace surrounded by natural stone and a calming colour scheme — lighter and charcoal greys with teal accents —the home has a warm, welcoming feel.

The nearly 3,700-square-foot house has radiant heat on every floor and an abundance of natural light streaming in through extra-large windows.

The front entrance presents doubleheig­ht ceilings bedecked with globe-shaped pendant lighting and leads into the openconcep­t living, dining, and kitchen areas. Collapsibl­e patio doors bring the outdoors in for seamless indoor-outdoor living; a private back deck has a chef-style barbecue with quartz countertop­s that match those in the kitchen.

The spacious main kitchen features an elongated island with seating and Jenn-Air Profession­al Series appliances.

Upstairs, the south-facing master bedroom with deck offers ocean views, while the luxurious bathroom is a dream, with soaker tub, makeup desk, and walk-in shower with pebble tiling.

The home is just blocks from the water and a 15-minute walk to White Rock’s pier, restaurant­s and cafes. It’s part of a package that includes $100,000 in furnishing­s and accessorie­s and $20,000 cash and is worth more than $2.7 million.

BC Children’s Hospital provides expert care — including life-saving surgeries, cancer treatment and mental-health programs — to more than 86,000 kids every year, which results in more than 234,000 patient visits.
