a short blurb about the house from the realtor:
mid-century modern gem in new westminster’s heights neighborhood. situated high on a huge massey heights lot with an expansive view. this 60’s mid century architecturally significant home designed by g. douglas wylie and built for the taylor family is coming to market for the second time in over 50 years. a japanese influenced post and beam ranch home with full basement features a u-shaped design surrounding the court-yard in-ground swimming pool. vintage home fans will love the massive white marble chimney, original marble floors marble teak paneled family room, sliding shoji screens, spiral staircase and sunken tub looking out to a secret garden. a rare find in unaltered condition.





I was lucky enough to have grown up in this house! My mom (Pat) and Dad (Rikk Taylor) worked with Doug Wylie to design this house as well as homes for my Grandmother (in New West too) and Great Aunt (On Peace Portal Golf Course). The home was featured in numerous magazines and we still have the original design drawings of the house (I keep meaning to go by the new owners to pass them onto them but we live in Victoria now – in a very cool 1965 MCM home over looking the Ocean!).
