Live your ‘Hallmark movie fantasy’ with this Cape Cod-style home in one of Canada’s best small towns
If you’re sitting in your pricey condo in your expensive city and wondering if this is all there is there’s a fellow in one of Canada’s best small towns who’s ready to trade with you, leave the Hallmark life behind and go back to the inner city.
Mr. Amenta grew up in Port Hardy, B.C., a tiny town on the north end of Vancouver Island. He decided he’d like something like that again. “There are lovely people out here. People hold doors open here; this woman would let me use her Land Rover. I was sick and they’d bring me soup. Who are these people? Vancouver is all hustle culture, this is the opposite.”
“Murals and arches are my jam, I think that’s my Italian heritage. When I was in Europe I couldn’t get enough of them,” Mr. Amenta said. But if they aren’t to your taste, have no fear of destroying priceless art: All of them are wallpaper: “For me, very few things can make an impact like . They are mimicking the old frescos, they’re done with a little crackle texture with the print.”
This space was intended as a potential long-term spot for his parents and he spared no expense to make it comfortable. The floors are all polished concrete with cozy underfloor heat, and the suite is anchored by a well-appointed kitchen and living room with French doors to the terraced lawn. The primary bedroom also has a set of French doors facing the exterior, a full bath with antique bureau repurposed as a vanity rounds out this level.
The back harbour is popular with boaters, and there’s space and permission to build a dock and a boathouse. For now, the main way to enjoy the water is either cold plunge from the rocky beach, or lounging on the rear deck.
