Thoughtfully designed for premium living yet equally suited to refined downsizing or accommodating a growing family, this executive walkout rancher unfolds as a seamless story of arrival, elevation, and panoramic reward in the prestigious Uplands of the Shuswap in Salmon Arm. The experience begins on the drive up. As the elevation rises, the surrounding landscape opens, and the glistening expanse of Shuswap Lake begins to reveal itself. Set within a quiet, established enclave, the home’s commanding presence is immediately apparent. Recently completed professional landscaping, full irrigation, and a striking Japanese-inspired trellis enhance both privacy and architectural character. The approach is polished yet understated—low-maintenance, immaculate, and quietly impressive. A welcoming front entrance creates a sense of calm transition from outdoors to in. As the door opens, sightlines extend forward and outward, drawing you naturally toward the Great Room, where expansive glazing frames sweeping west-facing lake and mountain views. The effect is immediate and captivating. Here, 9-foot ceilings, crown mouldings, hardwood flooring, updated lighting, and a gas fireplace establish warmth and architectural continuity. The open dining and living areas flow effortlessly together, oriented toward both the view and the terrace beyond. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main level with timeless granite countertops, quality appliances, a functional pantry, and refined finishes designed for both entertaining and daily life. From here, French doors open onto a full-width covered terrace featuring glass railings, resurfaced flooring, and automatic privacy shades—an exceptional extension of living space. Whether hosting sunset dinners or enjoying quiet mornings above the lake, this outdoor setting becomes a defining feature of the home. The vaulted primary suite continues the narrative of elevation and retreat. With direct access to the terrace, the suite captures the same panoramic outlook while offering privacy and comfort. A spa-inspired ensuite and newly redesigned walk-in closet complete this serene personal sanctuary. A wide corridor connects the main living areas to a grand vaulted executive office—ideal for those who work from home yet desire separation and scale alongside a convenient powder room and a spacious laundry room with direct access to the extra-large double garage, now equipped with an EV charger. Descending to the fully finished walkout level, the home transitions into a flexible entertainment and guest retreat. A spacious lounge with a custom bar creates an inviting environment for gathering and relaxation. Three generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, a dedicated library/craft room, and abundant storage provide comfort and versatility for family and guests alike. A newly constructed gym/flex room with its own full bath, storage, and private exterior entrance adds a rare layer of adaptability, offering potential for extended family accommodation or semi-independent living arrangements. Large windows continue to invite natural light into the lower level, where access to the upgraded covered patio and landscaped grounds reinforces the home’s connection to its elevated setting. Professionally managed strata services (approximately $100 per month) include lawn care, snow removal, and secure RV or boat storage, allowing for a low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising space or capability. Further enhancing the opportunity, an adjacent landscaped lot visible in the photo gallery is available under a right of first refusal. This presents meaningful optionality for expanded privacy or future land considerations in one of Salmon Arm’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. With extensive upgrades, including interior and exterior paint, new carpet, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, a newly added gym/flex room with suite potential ( Flex room includes a full bath, 220 amp and separate outdoor exit) and overall modernization throughout, this residence offers significant replacement-cost value in today’s construction climate. Recreating this combination of view, scale, finish, and location would require substantial time and capital. This is a home that reveals itself thoughtfully, from the approach to the terrace views to executive functionality to guest flexibility, culminating in a rare panoramic estate opportunity in the heart of the Shuswap. Private showings are now available.
