Description

Located in the heart of one of Vancouver’s most vibrant neighborhoods is this wonderful family home. Built in 1910 and having just had an extensive renovation, there is nothing left to do but enjoy the perfect blend between modern amenities and the charm of yesteryear. The striking exterior featuring new paint offset by rich cedar accents gives the century old home a modern feel but keeps in mind the heritage of the residence and the neighborhood itself.

Inside you’ll find a bright, spacious home that offers an semi-open plan on the main level. This level is all about time spent with family and friends. Enter through the front door to the foyer where rich, warm fir floors and original stained glass windows stand in contrast to clean, white walls and period trim. Rooms flow from one to the other and even outside with the use of French doors. The brand new kitchen has ample counter space and storage and boasts stainless steel appliances. Open to the kitchen is the eating area and family room featuring a gas fireplace and access to the gorgeous back deck. A large living room awaits special time with friends or quiet times with a book and there’s tons of wall space to feature treasured art and photos.

Upstairs has three large bedroom all on the same floor which can be hard to find in homes this age. Fir floors continue through out the halls and into the bedrooms where again you’ll find a clean, monocromatic theme lending itself to a summer cottage feel. The four piece bathroom features all new fixtures but keeps that heritage theme found in the home.

The basement has a brand new, ready-made studio suite with a separate entrance. Smart choices maximize the use of space and provide a fresh, clean living space. With loads of windows and with it being full height it doesn’t even feel like a basement suite and the private entrance even has a place to safely stash a bike.

In the back there is a wonderful, private back yard with some grass for the kids or pets. Beautiful gardens line the yard and fruit trees offer shade. Stairs lead up to the back deck for barbeques and sitting in the sun and the kitchen has a small deck off the back door. With the lane access there is covetted off street parking and potential to ad a carport, gargae or laneway house at a later date.

The improvements are too extensive to list but some of the highlights are all new windows and doors, new interior and exterior paint, new kitchen, new bathrooms, refinished floors, a new studio suite, new plumbing and electrical, new furnace and hot water tank and new washer and dryer and everything was done with permits and inspections.

The new owners will buy this house with confidence knowing that they’ve made a sound investment that they will enjoy for years to come.
