Southwest Corner Penthouse at Semiah, White Rock

PH1 at Semiah is the one I show anyone who thinks a penthouse means giving up outdoor space.

PH1 1439 George Street is the southwest corner penthouse of Semiah by Marcon, a concrete building from 2021 in uptown White Rock. Inside is 1,700 sq ft on one level: three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, wide-plank hardwood, and a primary bedroom that looks out over the water with a spa-like ensuite. The kitchen has a Wolf gas cooktop, Bosch appliances, a Marvel wine fridge and custom cabinetry, and two flex rooms work as a pantry and a walk-in closet.

The outdoor space is the part people do not expect: more than 1,600 sq ft of private terrace, most of it a rooftop with a built-in kitchen, lounge seating and planted beds, looking over White Rock Bay to the Gulf Islands.

A private double garage with EV charging and a third parking stall come with it. The building allows rentals, and pets with restrictions. Johnston Road's restaurants, cafés and shops are a short walk, the beach is five minutes away, and the catchment schools are White Rock Elementary and Semiahmoo Secondary, which offers the International Baccalaureate program.

Offered at $2,280,000. The strata fee is $812 a month and 2025 property taxes were $8,617. The full details, the photos and the floor plan are on the listing page: PH1 1439 George Street. Viewings are by appointment with Hamish at 604 376 7687.
