This recently listed home on Marine Drive in West 鶹ýӳis looking for a new owner – and the previous residents make it quite something to live up to.

The 1937-built “Kew House,” which is for $15 million, has previously been the residence of A.J. Taylor, who was responsible for the construction of the Lion’s Gate Bridge, Vancouver’s Marine Building and the development of the British Properties. The prominent West 鶹ýӳstreet Taylor Way was named after this renowned developer.

Not only that, Kew House has also been home to the late local philanthropist Kay Meek, for whom West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Theatre is named.

Sitting on a 1.66-acre lot with panoramic ocean views, this heritage house boasts beamed ceilings, cove and base mouldings, antique light fixtures and chandeliers, Spanish tile and herringbone hardwood flooring. It has 6,600 square feet of living space with a grand dining room, gracious living room with curved ceiling, three bedrooms, a den, an office, a craft room and three bathrooms.
