One of the oldest houses in
Dundarave is now one of the
newest. Built in 1911, Brian
and Kay Scheibe bought the
house five years ago,
planned the new design over
three years and are just
finishing the renovations.

Their idea was to retain a
cottage atmosphere, but
with a contemporary ap-
pearance. Starting with only
950: sq. ft., the house has
been enlarged to 1800 sq. ft.
Sitting on a southerly sloping

‘ lot, the house receives lots of

sunshine and has a fine view
out over English Bay.

sunroom, and an.office for
Brian. Just outside the
bedroom is a sunny patio
with a pool and waterfall.

A new kitchen has been
added to the rear of the
house with a convenient
island in the centre.

To help retain somo of the
cottage atmosphere, new
small paned windows were
added to many areas of the
house which were custom-
made by B.C. Sash and
Door.

One nice little touch is all
the inside door knobs are
porcelain while outside ones
are brass.

Being a_ tandscape
designer, Brian did a great
job on the | landscaping
which includes a fruit garden
cointaining Kiwi friut, pears,
plums, blucberrics,
lingonberries and shrub trees
of many varicties.

Future plans include
enclosing the carport and
tearing down the old garage
and replacing it with a
double onc.

The most striking change
