The listing says the extravagant West Vancouver home is “too amazing to describe in words”.

It did actually.

“This spectacular custom built completely renovated residence is situated on one of the most stunning almost 1 acre properties,” the listing said about 2956 Palmerston Avenue.

Moving on, “The home offers approximately 11,000 square feet of complete luxury, 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and several dens. The floor plan is incredible with the entrance foyer opening to a huge living and dining room with 30 foot high ceilings.”

Outside, “The maturely landscaped property has a gated circular driveway and water feature at the front and a sun soaked, private swimming pool, hot tub, gazebo and huge level yard and sport court at the back.”

And inside, “There is a climate controlled wine room, gym, workshop, complete outdoor entertainment kitchen, and self-contained nanny suite.”

The 2956 Palmerston Avenue property has a 2021 assessment of $8,242,000.

On March 8, 2021, Sutton Group-West Coast Realty listed the mansion on the market for $16,880,000.

Based on tracking by real-estate information site Zealty.ca, the residence spent 155 days on the market before it was finally sold.
