R arely does a gem of a home like this beauty at 3669 Glen Oaks Drive

in Hammond Bay come up for sale. These masterpieces are held onto by families for generations.

This 10-year-old home in a tranquil private setting is ahead of its time, as the features you will find here are only now starting to be used in modern high end construction.

From the moment you walk through the custom, eight-foot front door, you will be astonished by both the interior finishing touches and the view. The large thermal windows in this home open

onto breathtaking ocean and city views.

The living spaces are a con-temporary design, progress-ing from one room to the next and opening onto outdoor living and entertaining areas

that give you the best of both worlds.

The open floor plan flows naturally from the kitchen, living room and entry and leads to a spacious deck with a 180-degree vistas of the city and spectacular Georgia Straight and the snow-capped coastal mountains of the Mainland.

Room after room of this three-bedroom, three bath-room, dual ensuite home features elegant touches from gleaming custom wood panelling to natural coloured tile and carpet and lovely wood flooring, seamless glass showers and railings, a gorgeous feature water wall,

stone counter tops and and floor-to-ceiling windows with their spectacular views.

In the lower level, the the-atre room, family room and den all have ocean views and can be used as one large enter-taining space or as private getaways.

The master suite is a work of art that includes a raised ocean view bed platform and the wood and stone accented bathing area with a truly spa-like ambiance as well as cus-tom closets and a space saving design you will love.

The kitchen features built-ins, gorgeous stainless appli-ances, plenty of wooden cab-inets and ample work space.

Among the many other attractive features of this main level entry, 3,024-square-foot home include a low-main-tenance landscaped yard with plenty of parking, a double garage, sprinkler system, fully finished basement, full crawlspace and natural gas fireplace.

This amazing find of a home is listed at $1,100,000.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

As picky buyers, we never felt pressured.We were relieved when Dan sold our house in a downward market. His marketing was exceptional, particularly his website photos, creative write ups, and his social media blasts. After a long closing period, with many conditions, we had just two short weeks until the possession date. Now in a time crunch to buy, Dan showed us over 25 houses. We were so impressed with how fast he always responded to phone calls and texts. As picky buyers, we appreciated his patience and never felt pressured. Dan found us the just the right home, and the best deal.- Colette and Vic, Nanaimo

Holiday decor not required to create a festive feelingLAUREN LA ROSE THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Sharon Kallis moved to Vancouver in 1992 with her Christmas decorations in tow.

But as she spent more time separat-ed from her family in Ontario and not returning each year for the holidays, Kal-lis started to define a festive tradition all her own.

It’s one that now involves spending time away with friends at a cabin or cottage. What’s not on her to-do list? Decorating.

“It mostly comes from a pragmatic place of living and working in 530-odd square feet in downtown Vancouver where property is really costly,” said the married environmental artist, who has worked with various nonprofits and the Vancouver Park Board for the past decade.

“I have a storage locker, but do I really need to take up rental space for a box ... of trinkets? There’s no sense to that from my perspective. And then, space is small. Where would I put a tree?

“I sort of look at every square foot in my home as being real estate, and when I can purge and get rid of things I’m mak-ing real estate. I’ve got other things that are more important and relevant than hanging decorations.”

Whether it’s due to lack of space, inter-est, time, money or being away during the holidays, some may be inclined to eschew tradition and do away with holi-day decor.

“I remember even when I was a young person in Toronto there were houses that didn’t do anything,” recalled Marcel Danesi, a professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto, who counts himself among those going decor-free as he heads south on vacation later this month.

“We live in that kind of a secular society where this is really just part of festivities rather than part of something sacred.

“So, it doesn’t surprise me at all that individuals will opt out, probably more so than in the past. ”

Danesi said the communal nature of Christmas has changed drastically in the last 50 years, evolving from a time when ritual gatherings for dinners and gift exchanges were the norm.

Nowadays families are more scattered and get together when they can.

“I myself say: ’What am I doing this for really in the end?’ So maybe it is a sign of the times,” said Danesi.

“There is a huge tug today between those who want to restore traditions and those who are saying: ’Look, let’s move on.’ And it comes out in these kinds of ways.”

Designer Sarah Richardson agrees there’s no obligation to go overboard with holiday decorating.

“You can even just put ornaments in a vase or in a bowl and get some effect that signifies that the season has arrived.”
