Once a neglected, worn-down cabin in North Vancouver, this home has undergone a breathtaking renovation that now exudes rustic charm while offering serene water views. Nestled in a picturesque setting, the transformation focused on enhancing the home’s layout, aesthetics, and energy efficiency, all while preserving its cozy, cabin-like feel.

Relocating the kitchen from its outdated position in the back addition to the heart of the home created a flowing open-concept living space. The old kitchen space was repurposed into a much-needed third bedroom, perfectly suited for a neighborhood bustling with young families.

In the living room, middle bedroom, and main bathroom, the ceilings were raised to the joists, giving these spaces an airy, open feel. The living room now features energy-efficient, expansive folding glass doors that seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, leading to a spacious deck. Above, a large picture window in the Primary Loft offers stunning ocean views. Exposed steel beams were selectively left in place, reinforcing the rustic charm, while others were added for structural support. The loft, redesigned as the primary bedroom complete with an ensuite, was pushed toward the rear of the home, offering privacy and tranquility.

The kitchen blends modern convenience with rustic charm, boasting sleek black stainless steel appliances alongside dark cabinetry and engineered stone countertops. The rich, moody design continues in the bathrooms, with the main floor featuring oversized windows and a soothing white, gray, and wood palette, while the loft’s ensuite is dressed in a soft terracotta, blue, and gray theme, offering a touch of warmth and elegance.

The folding glass doors off the living room make indoor-outdoor living effortless. The expansive deck wraps around the side of the house, leading to a secret path that connects to the Baden-Powell Trail. With the house perched on a steep mountainside, each tier offers breathtaking views of the səl̓ilw̓ət inlet below.

This renovation is a harmonious blend of contemporary updates and timeless cabin charm, creating a home that fully embraces its scenic surroundings while offering modern comforts and style.
