Salt Spring Island House
From Elizabeth Yake
This sophisticated, custom home and studio are nestled in their own private microclimate, with water views of the harbour minutes from Ganges Village on beautiful Salt Spring Island BC on Canada’s west coast. The interior, an ode to Mid Century Modern design and décor, brings nature and natural light inside with the extensive use of classic MCM materials – glass, stone, wood and metal. Attention to detail and quality finishes, this house features 26 windows, oversized sliding doors and skylights with Jatoba floors throughout. The main floor is an open concept design perfect for entertaining and family life featuring a chef’s kitchen with a double oven, 6 burner Wolfe range and walk in pantry. The living room features a Rumford fireplace, a custom designed stack stone wall and walk out to a large 400 sq. ft. aggregate patio with an outdoor shower. The upper level has 3 oversized sliding doors opening on to a cantilevered wrap around deck. 2 of 3 bedrooms have large walk in closets. The master bath has heated Vancouver Island marble floors, in wall toilet, marble console sink, freestanding bath and large walk-in shower all bathed in natural light from a large overhead skylight. Mechanicals include security system, heat pump/air conditioning, HRV system, a concrete culvert for rainwater collection and a private well. This easy care .79 acre parcel of land, consists of large mature rhododendrons and extensive exterior stone work, electrical, lighting and irrigation systems throughout the property, including an excavated area serviced with electrical and plumbing for a hot tub or water feature.
