Once past the bar, you enter into the private guest wing, which houses the laundry room as well as four bedrooms and four bathrooms. One bathroom doubles as a shower room for the pool and hot tub area. Back in the main living space, it’s hard to not sit and watch the world outside go by. Despite the 14-foot ceilings and the six-foot mantel on the poured concrete fireplace, the room has a relaxing feel to it. Something the owner set out to do from the start. “There are so many places in the house that are my favourite,” she said. “It has a real calm feel to it because it’s so simple and not busy. The rustic manufactured oak floor gives it warmth. I like that they ran the wood floor into the en suite area of the bathroom because it gives a warm and beautiful look to the room.” The owner has several things she loves about her new home. “First of all there’s the views. There’s a view from our en suite soaker tub. From our bedroom, there’s another patio that has a perfect view of the dock and the water. Same as the kitchen … it’s a perfect view of the dock and water.” She pauses a moment. “Then there’s the venetian plaster on the walls. It gives the home such a great feeling. And outside…even around the outside fire pit area is gorgeous,” she said. “I tell people that all the trades that worked in our house were artists. I feel so honoured that they had such an attention to detail.”
