Description
A winding and wooded approach leads to automatic gates, unveiling 249 Springvale Road—a contemporary masterpiece designed by renowned local architect Mark McInturff and meticulously enhanced over the years. Nestled amidst mature trees and lush landscaping, the freshly painted facade introduces a home built to the highest standards of innovative design and impervious quality. Beyond the solid mahogany front door, a prominent foyer with granite tile flooring sets the stage for a dramatic roughly 6,000 square foot floor plan highlighted by stunning architectural details. Blending formal elegance with relaxed livability, the main level is graced with unstained natural cherry floors throughout. The dining room’s built-in lighted china cabinet, Art Deco chandelier, and deck access create the ideal setting for large-scale indoor and outdoor entertaining. A stately library, featuring lacquered bark paneling and custom cherry built-ins, serves as a dignified retreat, while the family room’s soaring ceilings, expansive picture windows, and wood-burning fireplace establish a grand yet intimate ambiance. A chef’s delight, the kitchen showcases granite countertops and a floating glass peninsula, concealing a state-of-the-art Miele and Sub-Zero appliance suite, complete with a coveted built-in espresso machine. On the upper level, two bedrooms—one with a private balcony overlooking the pool deck—share a luxurious bath, offering a whirlpool tub, separate glass shower, radiant heated floors, and a sauna. A third ensuite bedroom is bathed in natural light thanks to its corner exposure. Occupying the entire top level, the primary suite is nestled within the tree canopy, offering panoramic wooded views. Cove lighting, wall sconces, and grasscloth walls curate a serene ambiance, enhanced by a private balcony that seems to float among the trees. The spa-inspired bath features a double vanity, frameless shower, platform tub, and radiant heated floors. A custom cherry walk-in closet completes this tranquil retreat. On the lower level, the spacious recreation room with a stone-clad wood-burning fireplace and French doors opens to the outdoors. Two additional bedrooms, a luxurious full bath, and a large laundry room with Miele appliances offer both functionality and style, alongside access to the attached two-car garage. Set on two park-like acres, the grounds are adorned with perennial gardens, a koi pond, and two custom waterfalls that complement the stone retaining walls. The expansive rear patio features a built-in grilling area, with its centerpiece being a sparkling heated lap pool with an automatic retractable cover, surrounded by multiple areas for dining and lounging al fresco. After sunset, the comprehensive landscape lighting transforms the grounds into a captivating evening oasis. Surrounded by nature preserves and national parks, the home offers a sensation of true seclusion, while remaining convenient to major shopping, dining, entertainment, and commuter routes. Part of the esteemed Langley school cluster, residents also enjoy community gatherings, concerts, and events, creating a genuine sense of belonging. Offering an unparalleled blend of award-winning design, modern livability, privacy, and convenience, 249 Springvale Road is a rare offering that seamlessly combines the best of luxury living and ultimate serenity.
