From the Agent: "This Japanese-inspired midcentury-modern estate is anchored by a 60-year-old cherry  tree. Nestled beside the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, the 1963 residence stands among the last of its kind — a serene union of architecture and landscape by Muirhead & Justice, pioneers of modern garden design in Canada. Crafted in cedar, glass, and granite, the home reflects the philosophies of wabi-sabi and harmony with nature. A sanctuary of timeless design, preserved and reimagined for the present day."

G. Douglas Wylie, the architect, only has one other home attributed to his name.

The home is one of just two residences credited to architect G. Douglas Wylie.
