A West Vancouver Residence Designed for Effortless Entertaining

Picture this as your next move, not someday, but now. In Chartwell, one of West Vancouver’s most established residential neighbourhoods, this is where you step into more space, more ease, and a home that simply fits the way you live.

On a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, you slide open the Sub-Zero wine fridge and pull a chilled bottle, the cool air brushing against your hand as you decide what to pour first. Sunlight pours through the expansive windows, warming the stone surfaces and pulling your gaze outward to the view beyond.

Behind you, the chef and her team move confidently between the Wolf range, double ovens, and the oversized island, preparing for the afternoon gathering already taking shape.

Miele appliances hum quietly in the background, while the butler’s pantry, complete with a built-in coffee system, stands ready for later.

Through the open doors, the Wolf outdoor kitchen is already in motion, the grill heating as the day shifts outside.

As guests arrive, they are welcomed through double doors into a striking foyer where a huge two-way freshwater fish tank immediately draws attention, casting soft movement and light through the space. Natural stone flooring grounds the moment, setting the tone for what unfolds beyond.

This is where it starts, but it never stays in one place. The kitchen opens directly onto the covered patio, where overhead heaters take the edge off and the transition feels easy.



You step outside with your glass, and the view hits the way it always does. Downtown Vancouver, the Lions Gate Bridge, and Stanley Park sit right in front of you, clear, expansive, and entirely yours.

The space opens further as you move across the natural stone terrace. The pool stretches out at approximately 10.4 by 4.9 metres, with three fountain jets adding movement and sound, while the tiled hot tub waits just off to the side. Beyond that, a perfectly kept putting green invites a quick round that will not stay casual for long. The lawn and mature gardens frame everything, and the privacy of a gated 2,048 square metre lot means you are fully removed from anything outside of this moment.

Inside, the home continues to deliver. More than 1,036 square metres of living space unfolds across three levels, all connected by a custom elevator that keeps everything accessible without thinking about it. The Control4 system manages lighting, sound, and climate in the background, while in-floor radiant heat, air conditioning, and HRV keep the environment consistent year-round.



Upstairs is where things slow down. The primary suite gives you space to reset, with a private sitting area, balcony, and a fully built-out dressing room with custom cabinetry and safes. The en-suite is finished in stone and marble, spacious and considered without feeling overdone. Four additional bedrooms, each with their own en-suite, make hosting easy without ever feeling crowded.

Then there is the lower level. A temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar for serious collection. A full wet bar and open recreation space that adapts to whatever the night becomes. A media room with a 3-metre screen. A spa with both dry and steam saunas when you need to slow things down. And a guest suite that opens directly to the pool, keeping everything connected.

As your guests begin to arrive, you are not managing anything. You are just in it, glass in hand, letting the day unfold exactly the way it should.

Built in 2020, with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, over 1,036 square metres of living space, in-floor radiant heat, full air conditioning, HRV, and a three-car heated garage with room for an RV, this home is set up to handle everything without compromise.
