From the Agent: "New to the market is the restoration of a classic Bob Lewis home. A celebrity manager from Los Angeles and local architect paired together to restore the 1950s residence. The couple leaned into a vision that is true to its Californian influences and takes advantage of its forested setting in the Pacific Northwest. Curbing the trend of many similar homes being demolished or insensitively renovated, this duo set an important precedent for what a midcentury-modern home can be in Vancouver."

Trees tower over the single-level home, immersing it in nature.
