It,s about the house

The property at 1219 Sunnybrae Rd. is a 1/2 acre lot with a flat top that slopes down to the lake. The vertical rise is 46 ft. I measured this with " Google " but I did not believe it thinking it was more like 75 ft. I asked a B.C.L.S. friend and he said measure it with a stick and level I did and it came out at 46 ft. The 20X40 swimming pool is a nice alternative to going down to the lake for a swim. The house itself is a 3000 square foot walk out basement rancher. It has 4 bedrooms, four bathrooms and all the rooms are large and airy. The old brick used on the front of the house was taken from the old C.P.R. Roundhouse at Revelstoke when it was demolished in the 60,s. This brick was also used in both fireplaces and the feature wall in the living room. Both fireplaces are natural gas. The one in the media room downstairs is a log set. .Heating is forced air provided by a new " Carrier " natural gas furnace with air conditioning. A new 30 year fiberglass ashfault shingle roof was installed in 2002. The house faces due south which for the Okanagan is the best exposure. On the west end of the house there is a 12' x 12' covered deck facing the bay.that provides wonderful views of the lake and Green Bay. The 20x40 swimming pool had a new liner installed in 2009. The steel and concrete structure of the pool is in excellent condition because it was installed in a vein of pure sand that ran through the property. The road to the beach descends about 46 feet and is wide enough for a four wheel drive vehicle. The beach area features a 12'x16' beach cabin. This cabin features power, running water with a fridge with ice maker. There is a hide-a-bed and kitchen table and chairs to go along with one easy chair. The sink and counter is equipped. with drawers and cupboards under. Cutlery and dishes and everything one needs to serve meals cooked outside on a barbecue.  The beach and lawn area is divided by a post and timber wall. A three zone automatic irrigation system provides watering for the lawn and junipers. The lakeside lawns at the main house also is irrigated by a three zone automatic system.
