B.C. home blessed by Dalai Lama hits market for $3.3M

A North Vancouver home built by a top architect with the distinction of being reportedly blessed by the Dalai Lama has hit the market for nearly $3.3 million.

The five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home, dubbed the Lantern House, was listed for sale earlier this month in the city’s Edgemont Village.

Fred Hollingswoth, considered among Canada’s top architects, built the home in 1950 and his son Russell expanded the property in 2000.

“The exposed timber beams, large window walls and neutral accents throughout the home create a sense of warmth and tranquility,” reads a Zoocasa blog detailing the property.
