Point Grey Manor
There is a moment, standing at the base of the stone steps and looking up through the ivy draped columns toward the garden gate beyond, where this West Point Grey property feels like it belongs somewhere in the English countryside. The pergola columns are thick with climbing vines, the beds spilling over with perennials, a white garden gate just visible at the top of the steps drawing you further in.
From the street, the home announces itself differently. A grand heritage facade, columns flanking the entrance, leaded glass doors warm with light, magnolia trees uplit on either side so their canopy arches over the front steps like a canopy of green. The stone retaining wall at the base of the property grounds the whole composition.
This is a home with decades of character layered into every corner of the garden. The lighting follows that same logic, patient and considered, letting each element find its place in the dark.
