5 Modern Homes and Waterfront Condos Across British Columbia

A study in contemporary design, this semi-custom 2023 home pairs thoughtful upgrades with easy, functional flow in Logan Lake. The Hardi board exterior sets a clean, modern tone, complemented by a fully fenced yard and a triple car garage. Inside, a chef-inspired kitchen anchors the main level with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and a full suite of Café matte black appliances—including a gas stove, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. The open-concept living area gathers around a gas fireplace, while Hunter Douglas motorized blinds add quiet convenience throughout. A front deck extends the living space, and a spacious laundry room includes a gas dryer. The primary suite features a walk-in closet with built-ins and a private ensuite with a walk-in shower. Downstairs, a large family room, two more bedrooms, and a 4-piece bath create flexibility for guests, with ample storage. Out back, an extended concrete patio with gas BBQ hookup and a private hot tub invite slow evenings at home.

Along the Coquihalla River in Hope, this solid riverfront home has been completely and tastefully renovated, offering an easy transition into waterfront living. Inside, a large family room opens to a sundeck where river views take center stage—an ideal spot for slow mornings and unhurried evenings. Updates include new flooring, fresh paint inside and out, and a new kitchen, with additional improvements noted throughout. Set on a large, private 1/4-acre lot, the setting feels tranquil and well cared for, with a nicely landscaped yard. Practical touches round out the experience: RV parking, a 23’ x 17’ covered carport, cedar siding, and a large crawl space for extra storage. Whether for full-time living, a shared family getaway, or an investment, the river sets the pace.

From its elevated setting in Logan Lake’s Ironstone Ridge, this 2018 executive rancher pairs wide views with a remarkably flexible layout on a flat, fenced 0.27-acre lot that backs onto crown land. Vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and an open plan keep the main level bright and easy to live in. The kitchen is a true anchor, finished with Bosch stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, a large island, and warm under-cabinet lighting. Living and dining spaces extend to a partially covered deck with a natural gas BBQ hookup, while built-in speakers and main-floor laundry streamline everyday routines. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and 3-piece ensuite, joined by two additional bedrooms. A walk-out basement—originally designed with an in-law suite in mind—adds a family room area, full bath, stacking laundry, and direct access to a covered patio wired for a hot tub.

Along the Inner Harbour in Victoria’s Songhees area, this 1996 condo sits on the “deck” of the bay, with the tide and harbour activity as a daily backdrop.

A cozy gas fireplace anchors the living room, while views extend from all main rooms—including the primary bedroom suite—and continue onto the balcony. The primary suite adds a five-piece ensuite and a walk-in closet, and the outlook takes in the harbour, Shoal Point, and Fisherman’s Wharf. At Mariner’s Landing, a quiet, clean oceanfront community, residents enjoy outdoor walkways plus a kayak launch across the street, along with shared amenities such as a vast library, large workshop, car wash area, and kayak and bike storage. Steps away, the “quiet” side of downtown offers restaurants, coffee, bakery, bike shops, the seawall, the Galloping Goose, and harbour ferries.

Along the water’s edge in Oak Bay, this renovated top-floor suite at Vista Towers offers an easy seaside rhythm with polished, practical comfort.

Step onto the private balcony and take in shoreline views—an inviting spot for morning coffee or a quiet end to the day. The layout includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a powder room, balancing privacy with flexibility.
