Prize-winning appeal in Tsawwassen

- LIN STRANBERG

Set on a leafy corner lot in Tsawwassen, the new Millionair­e Designer Lottery top prize home is packed with elegant details and luxe amenities.

The almost 6,000-square-foot house is a spacious dream home with over-height ceilings, a wealth of windows and Control4 and Alexa-compatible features. The living area boasts a dramatic zero-clearance fireplace set low against dark wood panelling. Floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall have oversized sliders that open to a sunny southfacin­g exterior space graced with a curvaceous entertainm­ent patio and a three-hole putting green.

The entertainm­ent theme carries through to the downstairs suite, which features a yoga room, a billiards room, a two-sided fireplace with natural stone veneer surround and a well-equipped one-bedroom legal suite.

The two-storey foyer on the main floor extends a warm welcome to family and friends with a generously proportion­ed seating island in the sunny open kitchen, tall glass wine unit and intimate dining room. The natural hardwood wide-plank flooring leads to a spacious upstairs area with four bedrooms and ensuites. Daylight pours in from an abundance of windows, and one of the bedrooms boasts a dreamy peekaboo view of a sprawling beach on the ocean.

The house radiates ease and elegance with a flow and harmony that keep it light-spirited, never overbearin­g. This comes from careful planning and collaborat­ion between the Pinora Homes builder/realtor team of Tony Paul and Deep Dhillon and award-winning designer Sarah Gallop.

Once Paul and Dhillon had the plan for the home, they called on Gallop to improve and refine the design details, sparing no effort to create a home with grace, flow and some surprises.

The home blends the traditiona­l and contempora­ry in fresh new ways. The modern, unfussy panel work and contempora­ry mouldings, the understate­d vaulted ceilings, and the balanced effect of similar design elements in different materials work together to create a gracious space that feels polished but never pretentiou­s.

With its long list of quality features and uncluttere­d spaciousne­ss, the house offers a luxury lifestyle the whole family can enjoy.

Valued at more than $3 million, complete with contempora­ry furnishing­s and a $50,000 cash housewarmi­ng, this home is the superlativ­e top prize package in B.C.’s biggest lottery, supporting adult health care and research at VCH. 5263 3rd Avenue, Tsawwassen Visit daily: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Jan. 11.
