A Carriage House Above Okanagan Lake

The exterior pairs board and batten Hardie siding with an asphalt shingle roof, a durable combination for Okanagan seasons. Custom timber millwork and cedar soffits mark the entrances while recessed lighting gives the home a warm welcome day or night.

Inside, the kitchen and living area share one open space, with large sliding glass doors overlooking the lake. Shaker cabinets and quartz countertops anchor the kitchen while a freestanding wood fireplace warms the room. Laminate flooring runs through the main living areas, and custom wood railings add a finished detail. The bedrooms and home office all look out over the water, and a freestanding tub sits under a large window in the bathroom. A heat recovery ventilation system and high-efficiency heat pump keep the home comfortable year-round and its operating costs low.
