About this residence

The smell of woodsmoke and the hush of falling snow. Yes, a gorgeous home. But also, a sort of time capsule for building mountain memories. If you´ve ever yearned for the authentic Whistler (the one built on nostalgia and the cozy warmth of a true cabin) this Alpine Meadows retreat is what you crave. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, this home greets you with the character that modern builds often forget. You´ll find aged fir floors underfoot and magnificent reclaimed wood beams overhead. It´s the kind of craftsmanship that makes you want to slow down. The kitchen features a vintage Moffat stove that serves as a conversation piece, while a high-flush toilet adds a touch of old-world charm. With three bedrooms in the main home and a two-bedroom suite, there is plenty of room. The primary suite sits on its own level, bathed in light with its own private deck - perfect for a morning coffee while staring at breathtaking mountain views. If you want a home with a soul, you´ve found it. (id:61366)
