Eila on W49: Curated Living on Vancouver’s West Side

Long known as one of the world’s most popular, livable cities, Vancouver holds a special place in the hearts of a diverse range of homebuyers. And the West Side is undisputedly one of the city’s most sought after, prestigious neighbourhoods. So it’s no surprise that Eila on W49 is turning heads and winning hearts.

Located in the heart of the West Side, Eila on W49 is a collection of just 23 townhomes and garden suites featuring dramatic white-on-white façades with eye-catching board-and-batten siding and black metal accents.

Interiors are sunny and classically minimalist by design. “Laura Melling is well known for creating homes where spaces flow together effortlessly giving them a spacious, airy ambiance,” says Clare Linton, Alabaster Homes’ Director of Sales and Marketing. “Today, with the pandemic keeping people home more than before, we’re all rethinking how to make the spaces in our homes even more usable and inviting. So like all our projects, at Eila on W49 we’ve designed homes that put the focus on how people and families actually live.”

Floor plans, she adds, are wider than what’s typically seen in a townhome. “These residences mimic the feel of a single-family home. Sometimes it can be difficult to find privacy, especially now when you might have two parents working from home plus a couple of children attending school virtually. So we’ve made sure each member of the family has their own space — regular bedrooms all easily accommodate a queen-sized bed and all master bedrooms are large enough for a king.” As a bonus, there’s also a den that can become a home office, yoga space, or hobby room — just bring your creative ideas and transform them into reality.

Designed to inspire, sundrenched kitchens are poised to become the heart of these homes. Ready for a few hints? Let’s start with spacious eating bars, quartz countertops, and soft-close millwork. Chefs are sure to feel new inspiration with the premium integrated Fisher & Paykel appliance package with an option of upgrading to Gaggenau — sweet. Best of all, there’s easy access to your patio or balcony, so when we can once again gather for barbeques with friends and family, your new home will be ready for the celebration.

Then there are Alabaster’s myriad small touches that make big differences: nine-foot ceilings, a powder on the main level, and a parking stall roughed in for EV, the list is long and thoughtful. Always a trend-setter, Alabaster has even created one floorplan featuring master-on-the-main that meets the needs of active downsizers looking for a home where they can effortlessly age in place.

But wait, there’s more. “We understand how important private outdoor spaces are, especially today, so every townhome has its own rooftop terrace or expansive patio — some as large as 280 square feet, most with dazzling views,” Clare says. She adds that every garden home will boast a spacious, landscaped patio.

Eila on W49 offers 11 garden homes priced from the mid $600,000’s an 12 townhomes with 1,160 to 1,609 square feet of elegant living space priced from $1.4 million. You should be booking and registering on eila49.ca. Alternatively, contact eila49@alabasterhomes.ca for the latest information.
