Exterior landscaping - Renovation of 1800's stone guest house

Built by Highland Custom Homes

this old house in the garden park neighbourhood in east van was divided into 3 suites when my clients purcahsed it. with a growing family, they bought the fixer upper with the intention of taking over the upper suite and opening up the main floor. in the process, the whole house has been gutted & refurbished. there's a lovely & legal suite in the basement, a beauitiful open concept main floor plan and 3 bedrooms upstairs with a gorgeous vaulted ceiling in the mezannine. it's been a pleasure replanning this home and helping select finishes & furnishings.
