Sunday Feature Home

Situated at the very top of
the British Properties, the
home of Richard and Alisa
Hughes has a number of
interesting features. It was
previously owned by rock
star Fred Turner of Bach-
man Turner Overdrive and
he added some ideas of his
own such as enough garage
space to hold six cars.

Fred was a classic car buff
and needed a proper place to
keep his collection. Being a
recording artist, Fred also
added a music studio at the
westerly end of the house.

When the Hughes bought
the home about a year ago,
they painted the entire
house, added ceramic tiles,
new carpets and other in-
terior work.

The house has a giant
patio above the multi-car
garage. In fact, with the size
of the patio and house, at
least 100 guests could be
accommodated. And, of
course, most rooms offer an
unsurpassed view of
everything from Mt. Baker
to the Gulf Islands

Although great for on-
tertaining. it ts also a
practical family home as
well, with four bedrooms,
five bathrooms, a game
room, 8 huge jacuzzi, and a
sauna bath

Due to careful planning.
the cxtonsive landscaping
and rock work has resulted
in a very low mainicnance
lot which backs onto the
natural forest of Hollyburn
Mountain

One nice hide touch ts a
unique “pass through
fireplace in the family room
This enables you to bring the
firclogs from the garage
directly into the family
room
