Big Fat Deal: $11 Million to be a Minimalist in Kerrisdale

Big Fat Deal: $11 Million to be a Minimalist in Kerrisdale

BigFatDealKerrisdale

Each week, BCBusiness takes you inside one of the most outrageously upmarket real estate offerings in the province

Address: 6485 Cedarhurst Street, Kerrisdale

Price: $10,998,000

Listing: R2234536

The skinny: Five-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 6,481-square-foot house on a 15,847-square-foot lot in Kerrisdale.

The bling: OK, it’s time to get with the times and leave the frou-frou behind. Yes, we know you love your frills and fancies, your chintz and your shag, but being a person of high net worth brings with it responsibilities. What? This is news to you? Don’t panic, we aren’t coming after your non-declared income or your shady shell companies. There’s no shorting your market up our sleeves, honest. We just think you should be aware that if you really want to look good around town right now, you should try living in a sleek, modern box with sliding windows for walls and (extremely expensive) natural materials that downplay your wealth rather than all that Italian marble and Svarowski crystal you’ve been bedecking your space with for decades. Seriously, dude, minimalism shows you’ve got so much money to burn you don’t have to prove it. You can clad your walls with wood and shower among lumps of raggedy rock, and people will think you have style. Sure, the through draft of indoor/outdoor living and that fabulous skinny pool are only really of value maybe two months of a Vancouver year, but that in itself shows your reserves are bottomless. And anyway, a dozen more patio heaters screwing up the environment isn’t your problem. Right? Rich people responsible? We were only joking.

The hidden extras: Wok room, media room, wine cellar, gym, air conditioning (because you might not want to, you know, open one of those great big wall windows and you deserve to live in a climate-controlled world).
