887 Seymour Blvd

The build

887 Seymour Blvd is a ground-up custom home Twin Peaks Construction delivered on the North Shore. From the curb, the elevation reads as a contemporary craftsman: a steeply pitched roofline broken by a forward-projecting gable, cedar-shake siding wrapped with crisp white painted board-and-batten accents, dark grey horizontal siding on the second storey, and a real stone foundation finished in dry-stack ledgestone. The covered front entry is framed in heavy timber with exposed structural beams stained to match the cedar cladding — a touch you can't fake with engineered look-alikes.

Inside, the main floor opens up into a true gourmet kitchen built around a generous grey-painted island. White shaker cabinetry runs floor-to-ceiling on the perimeter, broken up by integrated paneled refrigeration. The appliance package — Wolf dual-fuel range, Sub-Zero wine column, integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration, full-height Miele wall oven and microwave — is configured the way a contractor who's built dozens of high-end kitchens would build their own. The island seats four and faces directly into the dining and informal living spaces, and crystal pendant lighting overhead picks up the chrome accents in the appliance pulls.

The dining area is anchored by a linear gas fireplace with a horizontal sawn-cedar mantle, flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides that look out into the cedar hedge surrounding the property. The crystal-bar chandelier overhead is the room's signature piece. Adjacent to dining, the formal living area shares the same wide-plank white-washed engineered oak floors that run throughout the main level.

Outdoor living

Where this build really earns its character is outside. A covered outdoor kitchen runs the length of the rear of the home, finished in the same grey cabinetry as the main interior with white quartz countertops and a built-in Weber Summit gas grill. The covered patio dining table seats six and faces a fire-pit centerpiece. The covered roof — board-and-batten ceiling with recessed LED — keeps the space usable in West Coast winters, and the cedar hedge wrapping the property gives complete privacy on every side.

Private floor

Upstairs, the master suite is built around a Calacatta marble ensuite that's the room visitors photograph first. A freestanding soaking tub sits along one wall under a Calacatta-clad bulkhead. Across from it, a walk-in glass shower with a hex-tile mosaic floor inlay framed in black grout — the kind of detail that takes a tile-setter twice the time but separates a real custom home from a builder-grade flip. Double vanity in white shaker, polished chrome fixtures, and a privacy window over the tub completes the room.

The master walk-in is a dedicated dressing room — full custom millwork on three walls, a center island chest of drawers in grey, and a glimpse through to the ensuite via a wide cased opening. The primary bedroom itself is a quiet retreat: tall ceilings, grey upholstered platform bed, three picture windows looking out into the forest, and a pair of glass-globe pendants flanking the headboard.

The home also includes a dedicated den / home office combo on the upper floor with a linear gas fireplace, a built-in desk, and a window seat looking into the trees — and a kid's bedroom with full ensuite on the same level.

Process

Twin Peaks Construction handled this project end-to-end: structural framing, exterior cladding, all millwork and finishing, the trade coordination for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and the high-end appliance package, and the outdoor patio + fence work. Same crew on site from start to finish, predictable site hours, and a clean handover.
