A Seamless Blend of Heritage Charm & Thoughtful Luxury

Step into a rare offering in the heart of Fort Langley—where history meets design-forward living. Originally built in 1933 by the founding Mensch family (of Mensch Trail and Bedford Landing), this beloved home has been completely reimagined in 2024 by its current owner, and brought to life by renowned local builder Wescraft.  Painstakingly restored and expanded to honour its English country roots, this residence offers all the comforts of new construction while preserving its irreplaceable character.

Tucked behind a custom white picket fence and framed by heirloom trees—including a spectacular pink dogwood—this home welcomes you with a timeless charm and an unmistakable sense of place. Inside, curated elegance and quality craftsmanship are everywhere you look: from wide-plank white oak floors to crown mouldings, bespoke millwork, designer wallpaper, and premium light fixtures sourced from Crate & Barrel and The Cross Decor & Design.

The heart of the home is the stunning Old World Kitchens custom chef’s kitchen, outfitted with high-end integrated appliances, a massive island, and French doors leading to a lush garden oasis. Gather in the elegant great room around a handcrafted cast stone fireplace, or enjoy intimate dinners under the glow of crystal chandeliers in the formal dining space.

The layout is as versatile as it is beautiful, offering two primary bedrooms, including one on the main floor—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or aging in place. A stunning powder room on the main level features a Kohler Dutchmaster painted sink, offering a jewel-box moment for guests. Upstairs, the serene principal suite boasts a spa-worthy ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub, frameless glass shower, and magazine-worthy finishes. Two additional bedrooms, including the original coved front room, and a Pinterest-perfect laundry room complete the upper level.

Outside, discover a brand new heated studio with plumbing—perfect for an artist’s haven, home-based business, or income-generating Airbnb.
