Mid-century modern, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, on special Salt Spring Island!

Sep 27, 2011 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

A Frank Lloyd Wright inspired treasure designed & custom built by a well known coastal architect, H. Schubart, who studied & worked with Mr Wright. An exceptionally beautiful property, a small point of oceanfront land, with views that go on forever. Home features a very organic design, where interior & exterior blends into a pleasureable whole, and all the very best features of authentic "west coast contemporary" design are found. Home has wood shingle exterior, custom window framing, stone accents, natural finishes, irreplaceable wood floors, & enjoys beautiful marine vistas and natural landscaping. A home & property to savour! Double garage/workshop, designed by the original architect, some years after the main home was accomplished (it was the architect's own home, and so offers many unique features, designed for himself), plus private courtyard entry. One steps into an entry/foyer, with an immediate identification with the ocean, the islands, the panoramic vistas, all the way to the San Juans! The view encourages one to meld with the universe, here. To the right, a gallery hallway leads to the open plan living/dining, and to the country kitchen, all with ocean and garden vistas. To the left of the foyer/entry, is the master wing. The lower garden level offers two bedrooms, plus an oceanview office, and a wine room. A garden view bed-sitting room, with its own private deck, is a wonderful option, too. A large skylighted workshop area would be perfect for the artist, or for a home occupation space. Everywhere one looks, here, there is the authentic "west coast" contemporary ambiance, and it's full of many irreplaceable features (specialty wood flooring, dramatic stone fireplace, specialty window treatments, stone work...). Enjoy! See Li to arrange for your personal tour of this Old Scott Road gem! (24 hr. notice essential).

Smooth Sailing
