MOUNTAIN LIFE - Blue Mountains | Fall 2017

88 ML BLUE FALL 2017 When Mark Tarnopolsky wanted to build a house in the Duntroon area, he didn’t have far to look to find a builder; one of the members of his adventure racing team is Robyn Allen. Whose husband is half of Carter Allen Ltd. This modern traditional home is the result of that partnership. Located in Duntroon, the house is designed to look like multiple buildings, with all the structures connected into an L-shape. Walking into the house, one is quickly struck by the open concept kitchen, living room and dining room; 13-foot ceilings, and massive east-facing windows allow tons of light to enter this vast space. Those windows also offer an incredible view of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach and Georgian Bay. White walls complete the spacious, open feeling. The flooring is reclaimed from a factory in Montreal, and is engineered to perfection. This same wood is also used on the ceilings. The master bedroom also faces east; clean, open and spacious, the room is serenity personified. The windows face the Bay and the master bath features a tub surrounded by windows on three sides.
