🔥 A SHARP NEW PRICE ON AN EXTRAORDINARY HOME.

📍 3250 Telescope Terrace | Departure Bay

Set above Departure Bay, this distinctive West Coast contemporary residence makes an impression from the moment you arrive.

An engraved wood and etched-glass entry opens to a dramatic two-storey foyer, where a sculptural spiral staircase sets the tone for a home with unmistakable character.

Expansive windows frame sweeping ocean, harbour and city-light views, while southern exposure brings sunlight deep into the interiors. Three private decks, an ocean-view primary suite and a landscaped ⅓-acre setting connect the architecture to its coastal surroundings.

Distinctive architecture. Remarkable views. A sharp new price.

An opportunity to own something truly different.
