The House:
     A truly beautiful, open plan, 2 bedroom home which has been newly repainted in warm creams and carefully chosen accent colors, with alder floors throughout.


     The 4 skylights in the cathedral ceiling, and the over sized windows, provide lots of natural light, as this home is west facing with east and south exposure.


     Daytime privacy and UV protection has been achieved with professionally installed window film. Fine Hunter Douglas window treatments as well as the handmade cabinetry enhance the elegance and functionality of the rooms.


     All the landscaping bones are here centering around the newly installed granite and river rock pathways, backyard patio, and cedar deck. Of the many landscaping features, some highlights are the 4 variety asian-pear tree, Mediterranean herb gardens, spiral shaped backyard bed, "Shojo" Japanese maple, and boxwood hedging.


     The proximity of the neighbouring lot of Douglas fir, Ocean Spray and Saskatoon bushes, 40 feet from the backyard, makes this one of the most private yards on the property.

     Only 4 two bedroom homes exist at Creekside, and with over $30,000 in upgrades this one stands apart.
