This stylish, modern 3 bedroom/3.5 bathroom house will have you feeling relaxed and at home right away. Featuring an open floor plan, it offers lots of space while still maintaining a sense of comfort and functionality. From the floor to ceiling windows, to a fully-equipped stainless kitchen, to the snug movie room, every element of the residence has been carefully selected to ensure guests enjoy a delightful and tranquil stay.

In 2012, Snowbird won the Southern Architecture Award "The clever massing of the building results in an optimal orientation towards the street, the arc of the sun and the sumptuous views on offer. A well-articulated stair element deftly stitches together the various levels of the house, and a modest material palette, relieved with splashes of vibrant colour, communicates the primary purpose of the house as a holiday residence."
