Inside a $25 Million Seattle Estate With an Indoor Pool and Separate Guest HouseBlackcomb, North America’s largest ski resort, but the area’s classic chalet-style housing also makes the Canadian mountain town a skier’s paradise. Last year, by Patkau Architects landed on the market for $12 million in the area, and now, a nearby residence that’s part of the ski-in/ski-out Sunridge Plateau neighborhood has come up for grabs as one of Whistler’s most expensive homes on the market.
Architect Sean Anderson, a former associate curator at The Museum of Modern Art, is behind the abode’s contemporary design, which was built by Gavan Construction. A mix of natural and man-made materials like standing seam metal, tongue and groove cedar, and cement paneling stand out on the facade next to triple-glazed windows that ensure the cold stays outside. White oak floors, wool barber carpet, and custom millwork by Minglewood/Black Point are additional choices in the design.
Beyond the entry foyer, soaring ceilings provide a sense of airiness, and walls of glass highlight the seamless indoor-outdoor design. The living room’s wood-burning Stuv fireplace continues to provide both light and warmth when the sun goes down and temperatures drop. Nearby stands the gourmet kitchen with modern stainless-steel appliances and bold black and white marble counters and backsplashes. A dining area sits to the right of the space, with room for at least eight guests.
A massive fireplace anchors the upstairs primary suite, which includes a walk-in closet and a lavish en-suite bath accented by dark and light marbles. The suite’s best feature is arguably its private patio with its head-on view of Whistler Mountain. The wellness center on the home’s lower level, meanwhile, is poised to be a hotspot for keeping entertained with a gym, treatment room, and game room. A 45-foot heated indoor pool is also found there, extending to a covered deck with a hot tub.
