An updated home that was originally designed by famed architecture firm Hassell/Griblin Associates is now on the market.
The property at 249 Bayview Rd. in Lions Bay listed on Wednesday for $2.39 million.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home was first built in 1974, and was updated by D’Arcy Jones Architects in 2019 with the addition of a studio and patio.
Nestled on a steep slope amid tall trees, with exteriors clad in long cedar boards, the 2,317-square-foot floor space is divided between the original home above, and the lower studio addition below. The structures sit on a three-quarter-acre lot.
The original home’s huge windows and skylights, sharp angles and dramatic placement exude West Coast Modern style, with the addition built to match, but with a more modern, minimalist aesthetic.
