The big sell: According to listing agent Crystal Hung, this sale price of $2.42-million set a record in Richmond’s Steveston North area for a home on this size lot. The 60-by-117-foot property contains a two-storey house built with attention to detail. The exterior is clad in stone and cedar accents, with pitched roofs that accentuate the double-height windows. The front doors have a diamond-shaped pattern set in glass that is mirrored in the floor tiles found in the foyer, while a vaulted ceiling above has a striking five-foot chandelier. A neutral colour palette is found throughout, with contoured accent walls and coffered ceilings that create a subtle shift in the interior surface design. The kitchen follows the colour scheme, with white Shaker-style cabinets and undermount task lighting, oversized appliances, a wine bar and adjoining wok kitchen. There are four bedrooms with ensuites upstairs, including the master retreat, which has a jetted tub and a steam shower. Landscaped gardens and an integrated double garage add further appeal.
