A beautiful waterfront home at the easternmost end of North Vancouver District, within the Dollarton neighbourhood, comes with not only direct water and mountain views, but also a private dock capable of mooring a float plane and several boats.

This scenic property at 326 Sea Shell Lane — immediately north of Cates Park, and at the mouth of Indian Arm fjord — was listed by RE/MAX’s Matt Gul, and recently sold for $7.2 million, according to online records.

The sale price was under its listing price of $7.98 million.

The two-level property, including the basement, spans 6,172 sq. ft. of floor area, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

This is unquestionably an entertainer’s home.

An eye-catching wood vaulted ceiling spans the spine of the main level from the front entrance — through the dining and living rooms — to the rear entrance, which opens up to an expansive patio and transitions to the large backyard lawn and private beach.

A fully equipped kitchen, additional eating area, and den are also located on the main level.

The property, sitting on a 12,528-sq-ft lot, was built in 1997 and designed by Gordon Hlynsky Architect. The garage can fit two cars.

The latest assessed value by BC Assessment pegs the property’s worth at $6.019 million, with $4.203 million for the land and $1.816 million for the building. This is down from its peak assessment value of $6.683 million in July 2018.
