A signature residence by local architect, Fred Wagner, this exceptional custom home is a timeless expression of European Craftsman design, where artistry is an enduring quality that creates perfect harmony. Rich woodwork, handcrafted millwork, & attention to detail are evident throughout every room. Designed for easy single-level living, the main floor captures breathtaking panoramic views overlooking Drayton Harbor, the Canadian Coastal Range, & the sparkling city lights of White Rock. Thoughtfully designed floor plan offers a library-inspired den with fireplace, a dedicated view office, & a beautifully appointed primary suite complete with its own private deck overlooking protected open space. Professionally designed landscaping surrounds the home, creating a seamless connection inside and out. The oversized two-car garage includes a small workshop, while the lower-level bonus room offers endless possibilities as a home office, artist's studio, hobby room, or gardener's workspace. The upper level is home to a guest suite that provides comfort and privacy—an inviting retreat your guests may never want to leave. Meticulously maintained, this is a home of uncommon quality that simply could not be replicated today. Every detail reflects pride of ownership & architectural integrity. This is a legacy property where exceptional design, unparalleled craftsmanship, & one of Semiahmoo's most captivating view settings come together in perfect balance.
