When Andrew and And-
rea MacGregor bought their
Dundarave townhouse a
year ago, they didn’t like it.
Actually, they didn’t like
some of the interior design.
Already partially completed
but not finished, they made a
number of dramatic changes
to suit their needs and taste.

Situated across the street
from the ocean with a view
that goes on forever, they
found it odd that the living
room had the fireplace
located in an area that would
partly block the view. So
they moved it. They also
built a skylit atrium in the
living room and enlarged the
room by making the sundeck
smaller. They also added a
fireplace made of lava rock
in the master bedroom.

The townhouse has lots of
privacy and separation of
living areas as it is on three
levels. It can have one to
four bedrooms, depending
on the use. In the
MacGregor’s case, Andrew
uses one for an office and
another for the TV room.

The architecture could be
described as West Coast
contemporary with a square
footage of 2,800. There is
also a double car garage with
an clectronically controlled
door. Electronics are ex-
tensively used throughout
the home with its security
system as well as the musio
and intercom systems.

At the rear of the house is
& swim/spa pool with jets to
swim against the current.

The kitchen’ features
Honduras mahogany
cabinetry with an oxtensive
list of appliances including a
convection microwave oven,
Jenn-Air range, and a trash
compactor. The washer and
dryer are also located in the
kitchen for convenicnce

The landscaping is “casy-
care” with a variety of plants
such as red maples,
rhododendrons, bamboo and
Japanese plants.

THE MacGREGOR TOWNHOUSE in Dundarave features the very best of
everything. Below, the living room has a Squamish rock fireplace and is decorated
with “Orfental-contemporary” furniture. Below, right, Japanese grass cloth is used for
wallpaper in the dining room. Right, the kitchen cabinetry is Honduras mahogany.
