Description

The Kingswood-Shaughnessy is a grand residence in the European tradition, an extraordinary blend of modern luxury and Old World precision and craftsmanship. From the handmade tiles used liberally throughout the project to expertly matched marble and cherry wood panels, the hallmarks of detailed elegance are much in evidence. This collection of 18 finely crafted custom homes is a true work of art, a cluster of exquisite jewels unlike any other. There are no higher standards in the world than those found at The Kingswood.

One immediately notices the rich details: ebony inlays, tooled wainscoting, premiere Kohler fixtures, Gaggenau and Sub Zero appliances. Interior spaces are planned with meticulous attention to form and function. At The Kingswood-Shaughnessy, efficiency and elegance are equally achieved, infusing each room with balance, proportion and flow.

Features

Within a block are the Meinhardt Fine Foods gourmet grocery store, the Arts Club's Stanley Theatre, an impressive assortment of retail shops and restaurants, as well as several tiny art and antique galleries. Across the street is the prestigious Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club.
