If you've got the budget and architectural taste of a European royal, and are looking for a British Properties home in which to throw sensational Great Gatsby-style parties, you could be in luck.

This jaw-dropping mansion in the British Properties in West Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­was March 1, making it the highest-priced new MLS® listing in the Lower Mainland last week (February 26-March 4).

The house has eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, a library and huge living and entertaining spaces over 11,000-plus-square-feet of interior space.

All this is set on a 27,000-plus-square-foot lot with breathtaking views over the city and the ocean.

The house was custom-built and completed in 2016, in the style of grand European palaces, while maintaining a contemporary interior and up-to-the-minute features and finishings.
