Did ‘you ever: look at a

house and without hesitation

say "This one’s for me”?

Six. weeks ago. John
Johnson of North Vancouver
discovered a beautiful. con-
temporary t and: beam
house. in Lions Bay. and
bought it in five minutes.

’

It could be ‘considered a:

large cottage or: a small
house at. 1250 ° sq. ft.,
although it feels more
spacious because of the open
18 foot ceiling... |

The. two, level home has |

two bedrooms, a formal din:
ie room, two baths, a small.
den, four decks, a loft, and,
- of course, an ocean, view of
Howe «Sound, Gambier
Island and the Pam Rocks.

The spacious kitchen is til-
ed with tasteful rust. col-
oured «tiles with ‘maple
cabinets. :

Next to the kitchen is the
dining. room on the ocean
-sidé of ‘the house with its
“own wrap around deck.
Beside the dining room is a
large open area above the
living room, which is onthe
lower level. A’ beautiful .
wooden spiral staircase leads,

‘staircase, one of. the: four
» sundecks,

rest of the upper leyel:
devoted to the’ master
bedroom which has a deck,
and to the loft: ‘and storage
Space.

It isa little unusual to have:
the living room on the lower.
floor .but it works well and
offers good seperation from.
the rest of the house. There
is an acorn fireplace in the
living room, with s a small den:
nearby.”

The living room 1 also has a
wrap around deck, :
