Imagine turning onto a quiet Altamont street and passing through private gates into a world where the air feels fresher, the trees stand taller, and the pace instantly softens. Nearly an acre of lush, manicured greenery surrounds you. Mature evergreens frame the sky, flowering shrubs add colour and softness, and curated garden pathways lead your eye toward a grand custom-built residence that feels both stately and welcoming. This is the kind of property that invites you to slow down, take a breath, and step fully into your own private sanctuary.
Set on a sensational 0.9-acre lot spanning 39,160 square feet, this extensively renovated estate offers just under 11,000 square feet of luxury living designed for both grand entertaining and deeply personal moments. The landscaping alone is extraordinary, creating layered privacy and a true sense of immersion in nature while remaining minutes from the city.
MAIN LEVEL LIVING
The flat circular driveway makes arrivals effortless, whether hosting an intimate dinner or a celebration for dozens. Inside, a stunning foyer opens to a dramatic living and dining room with 30-foot ceilings and a statement gas fireplace. Oversized windows draw the outdoors in, filling the space with natural light and offering tranquil views of surrounding greenery.
The gourmet kitchen is crafted for those who love to gather. Expansive stone counters, custom cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances anchor a space that flows beautifully into the eating nook and generous family room, complete with a second large gas fireplace. It is easy to picture Sunday mornings here, sunlight pouring in, coffee brewing, and conversations unfolding naturally. The main floor is further enhanced by a private office, two beautifully appointed guest powder rooms, and an en-suited guest bedroom with walk-in, ideal for visitors who appreciate both comfort and privacy.
PRIVATE RETREATS ABOVE
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, generous in scale and beautifully appointed with a spa-inspired en-suite and spacious dressing room designed for effortless organization. Four additional oversized bedrooms complete the upper level, ensuring family and guests enjoy both privacy and proportion.
ENTERTAINMENT REDEFINED
The lower level shifts into full lifestyle mode. The expansive recreation room with wet bar sets the stage for relaxed evenings, while the dedicated media room becomes your private cinema. Picture plush seating, dimmed lighting, and immersive surround sound for the latest blockbuster or a championship game. This is where movie nights become traditions and sporting events feel like front-row experiences.
A temperature-controlled wine cellar stands ready to showcase a serious collection, adding sophistication to every gathering. The fully self-contained one-bedroom nanny suite with its own kitchen and living room offers flexibility for extended family or staff.
RESORT-STYLE OUTDOORS
Outdoors, the property transforms into a private resort. The designer swimming pool and hot tub are framed by stone terraces and vibrant gardens. A charming gazebo and fully equipped outdoor kitchen invite summer dinners that stretch long into the evening. The expansive flat grassy yard offers space for children, pets, and large-scale entertaining, while the private sport court brings year-round recreation, from tennis to basketball, all surrounded by towering trees and curated landscaping.
WEST COAST LIFESTYLE
With in-floor radiant heat, air conditioning, HRV, four natural gas fireplaces, two spacious two-car garages, and additional parking for four, comfort and functionality meet beauty at every turn.
This is West Coast living at its most intentional. Here, lifestyle is defined by balance, by mornings that begin with ocean air and forest views, by afternoons spent outdoors in every season, and by evenings gathered in the media room or around the outdoor kitchen with those who matter most. Choosing the perfect property on the West Coast is not about excess, it is about alignment. It is about securing a place that supports how you truly want to live, entertain, and unwind.
In a market where exceptional estates are rare and privacy is prized, opportunities like this are not out of reach for those who are ready to elevate their surroundings. 2956 Palmerston Avenue offers the chance to anchor your life in one of West Vancouver’s most coveted enclaves, where nature surrounds you, luxury supports you, and the lifestyle you envision becomes your everyday reality.
