One-of-a-Kind Upper Lynn Architectural Home
Set on a south-facing 56’ x 130’ lot backing onto a serene greenbelt, this architectural gem — designed by Dick Goldammer — is perfectly crafted for privacy and to take full advantage of its treed outlook. With only one neighbouring home to the west, it offers a rare combination of seclusion and connection to nature.
Inside, the home is bathed in natural light thanks to large picture windows, cedar-lined vaulted ceilings, and an abundance of skylights, creating an open yet intimate layout that celebrates the surrounding landscape.
The near-level entry main floor features a kitchen and spacious eating area suspended over the living room below. Completing the main are two generous bedrooms, including the primary suite with a four-piece ensuite and a private, sun-drenched balcony overlooking a forested creek, and a second south-facing bedroom with vaulted ceilings and access to a sunny deck.
The walk-out lower level offers sliding glass doors that open directly to the yard — ideal for indoor-outdoor living in the summer months. This level includes a large living room with a cozy sunken conversation pit (with built-in seating for eight) and a wood-burning fireplace; as well as a third bedroom, a den/office, and a large laundry/utility room with excellent storage. The owners have recently replaced the main skylight and asphalt roof, and while the home is otherwise in clean, original condition, it’s ready for its next owner to refresh and personalize.
Set well back from the street, the property features a gently sloping driveway with open parking and a large cedar-lined carport.
Located in desirable Upper Lynn Valley, this home is steps to Upper Lynn Elementary and Argyle Secondary, with walking distance to the Lynn Headwaters trail network, swimming holes, Kilmer Park, and End of the Line Café. Just minutes from the Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge and Lynn Valley Centre, with quick access to Upper Lonsdale and Highway 1 access points.
A rare architectural treasure in Upper Lynn, this residence exemplifies the timeless design and attention to detail that defined Dick Goldammer’s work, blending privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtful craftsmanship — ready for its next chapter.
