I am head over heels in love with this house. It's in the Kitsilano area in Vancouver.
It's total eye candy. I love the dark grey paint job (surprise, surprise). In spite of its super modern look, the wood accents really warm it up. I'm dying to see what it looks like inside but I'm too timid to get up close to it and snoop around. Also, I'm curious to know who lives in this house.
Even the Dude likes this house, which goes to show you how much I've corrupted his tastes. He's a country boy from rural New England who grew up surrounded by by old, quaint houses.
We'll never be able to afford a house like this in Vancouver. As long as we live in this city, we'll be renters for life. Speaking of which, we've been busy apartment hunting. We're planning to move at the end of January. Not sure whether we'll be moving to a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom. It'll probably depend on what we find. I'm very tempted to move into a 2-bedroom, but I'm afraid of accumulating junk to fill the extra space. As a reformed pack-rat, I've come to enjoy living with as little as possible. Even with the weekly purgings, I still feel like we have too much stuff.
i may be crazy but i am almost certain that this home {or one very much like it} was featured in 'canadian house & home' magazine {or was it 'style at home'?} either way, it is one spectactular space.

Chrissy, was it a recent issue? I'm tempted to hunt it out.
ReplyDeleteIs this the house on Macdonald??? Soo many houses like this being built in Vancouver!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is the house on Macdonald! In my neck of the woods, no houses that look anything close to this are being built. Where else have you seen houses like this?
