Featured on "Love it or List it Vancouver"

As seen on Love It or List It Vancouver and featured in the pages of Style at Home — and lovingly elevated by its current owners — this extraordinary 1912 character home is one of Central Lonsdale’s most remarkable offerings.

Three beautifully finished levels, two gas fireplaces, a self-contained basement with suite potential, and an outdoor space that has to be seen to be believed. 

Main Floor:

 Arrive via new front steps and covered front porch and through the front door, a proper entryway with coat closet provides a gracious transition into the home.

The living room anchors the front of the house, warmed by a custom concrete gas fireplace, and flows naturally into a dedicated dining room featuring a bay window with a custom built-in seating bench — a perfect spot for morning light and family dinners alike.

Beyond the dining room, the kitchen opens into a family room complete with a gas fireplace and custom built-ins. Patio doors lead directly onto the large south-facing deck, where downtown Vancouver views stretch out before you.

 The chef’s kitchen itself has been refreshed with contemporary cabinet paint, bespoke solid brass hardware, anchored by white quartz countertops, and premium stainless appliances, including 2 ovens.

Tucked discreetly off a short hallway on the opposite side of the patio doors, a private main-floor bedroom — ideal as a guest room or home office — enjoys quiet separation from the main living areas, served by an elegant European-styled bathroom.

Upper Floor:

 The generous primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring two closets — including a walk-in with attic storage — and peaceful views over Grouse Mountain.

The second bedroom looks south over the Downtown Vancouver skyline.

A cleverly positioned built- in nook with skylight between the bedrooms provides a dedicated home office space without sacrificing a single room.

Both bedrooms share the beautifully appointed main floor bathroom.

Basement —

Flexible Living Accessible from both the main floor and a private backyard entrance, the fully finished lower level is full of possibility.

A spacious living room is already plumbed for a kitchen, a brand-new full bathroom serves a private bedroom, and a dedicated flex room offers space for an office or art studio.

Shared laundry and cold storage complete the level. Step outside through the backyard entrance onto a patio that opens directly to the garden — giving this level its own distinct connection to the outdoors.

With plumbing already roughed in for a kitchen, the suite potential here is exceptional and represents an exciting opportunity for a mortgage helper or multigenerational living.

The Outdoors :

A Rare Urban Sanctuary The oversized south-facing deck is the heart of outdoor living here — freshly painted and equipped with a gas BBQ hookup, with downtown Vancouver views that never get old.

Accessible from both the family room patio doors and the backyard stairs, it connects seamlessly to the garden below.

A prolific grape vine grows along the lower deck level, producing an abundant harvest each season.

Descend to the backyard and onto a charming pathway crafted from rounds of the property’s own fir tree — a beautiful detail that speaks to the soul of this home.

Here, a pergola and hot tub create a private garden retreat, surrounded by an extraordinary mature edible garden: apple tree, fig tree, raspberries, kiwi, and more.

An established, thriving urban homestead that produces year after year. Rarely does a city home offer this much outdoor richness.

Steps from Grand Boulevard, 25 minutes on foot to the SeaBus and the shops, restaurants, and waterfront of Lower Lonsdale — from the Green Necklace trails and Grouse Mountain — then come home to a private garden oasis with views, character, and a story worth telling.

THIS IS THE ONE.
