These beautiful tandem-style homes are situated on this unique property with an unobstructed view of Okanagan Lake, and are literally footsteps to the public beach and park across the road. An old single-family home on this 66x 149 ft. lot was taken down to accommodate two dwellings. The homes were designed and crafted to take advantage of the view, and at the same time provide privacy from their neighbor by staggering their frontages and deck space on second floor.

The homes themselves are approx. 2600 sq. feet each, on two floors, and are provisioned with elevator shafts for aging in place. A large airy foyer open to the second story greets you. The kitchen and open great room floor plan looks out towards the lake and is a great space for entertaining, and enjoying the scenery. The use of crisp white cabinetry and walnut accents, lend to the beachy feel of the home. White shiplapped walls add texture and clean charismatic lines. Large slider doors allow access to the covered patio area in front yard, and across to beach. There is a mudroom and powder room at back of house along with a den. Wide plank white washed oak flooring spans the home.

These “ brownstone” inspired single-family homes were created from a densification and reuse perspective on prime land. Older homes on large lots were taken down and the lots stratified to create two lots on each property for a total of six new homes. The new homes now sit on 35×145 foot lots which provide front and rear yards which have been xeriscaped for today’s busy and environmental conscious. Detached garages are accessed by lane way at back of properties. There is ample space between the homes, and beautiful cedar fencing lends to the privacy of each home as well as the aesthetics.
