Inside a New $5,380,000 Dunbar Showpiece With a Rooftop Terrace, Theatre, Gym, and Laneway Home 🌿🏡

This is the kind of home where the feature list just keeps going.


4090 W 31st Avenue is newly built, beautifully modern, and packed with details that make it feel much more than just “luxury.” You have nearly 1,000 sq ft of rooftop space, a theatre, gym, steam shower, separate wok kitchen, two bedroom suite, and a laneway home, all tucked into one of Dunbar’s most established residential pockets.



The design feels polished, but not cold

Modern homes can sometimes feel a little too perfect. This one still has warmth.

The combination of 10 foot ceilings, floor to ceiling glazing, custom millwork, and titanium natural stone creates that clean architectural look, but the natural light and material choices keep it feeling grounded.


It’s sleek, but still comfortable enough for everyday family life. ✨



The kitchen is a serious setup

The main kitchen centres around a large island and premium Miele appliances, so it feels polished and ready for entertaining.


Then you have the separate wok kitchen, which I always think is such a practical luxury. If you cook often, entertain a lot, or simply want to keep the main kitchen looking clean while the real cooking happens behind the scenes, this is a feature you’ll use constantly.



The rooftop might be my favourite part

Nearly 1,000 sq ft of rooftop terrace with mountain views is hard to ignore.

It gives the home an entirely different lifestyle layer. Morning coffee, dinner outside, entertaining friends, or just having somewhere quiet above the neighbourhood, it’s one of those spaces that immediately makes you start planning how you’d use it. ☀️



Downstairs is basically its own retreat

The lower level is where the home becomes really fun.

There’s a theatre, gym, and steam shower, so you have entertainment and wellness built right in. You also get a two bedroom suite, which creates flexibility for extended family, guests, rental use, or simply more separation within the home.

That kind of adaptability matters because your needs rarely stay the same forever.



And yes, there’s a laneway home too

The separate laneway home adds another layer entirely.

Whether you’re thinking multigenerational living, rental income, independent guest accommodation, or something for older kids down the road, having a completely separate residence gives you options.


Add central air conditioning, radiant heating, and an EV ready garage, and the practical side of the home is just as strong as the design.

The Dunbar location is part of the value

You’re close to St. George’s School, Crofton House, Lord Byng, Pacific Spirit Park, UBC, and Dunbar Village, which is a big reason families continue to target this neighbourhood.

You get quiet residential streets and greenery, but you’re still connected to schools, parks, shopping, transit, and the university. 🌲



My take

What stands out to me here is not one single feature, it’s how many lifestyle needs this home manages to solve at once.


You’ve got modern design, outdoor space, wellness, entertainment, multigenerational flexibility, and a separate laneway residence all working together.


If you’re looking at new construction in Dunbar and want to know how this stacks up against other luxury homes in the area, send me a message. I’m happy to break down the differences and point out what I’d be paying attention to before making a move. 📩
