From the Agent: "Presenting The Cedar House—a rare surviving modernist retreat set between ocean and forest, designed by John Perkins after shaping Whistler Village. Its Sea Ranch–inspired form—steeply sloped roofs, exposed timber, and seamless integration with nature—creates a home that is both striking and serene, where architecture disappears into the landscape, offering an escape deeply rooted in its surroundings."

The home was designed by John Perkins, an award-winning Canadian architect who shaped much of Whistler Village.
