Description
Wonderfully sunny and bright, meticulously maintained and tastefully updated 4-bedroom home, impressively set above the street on a super-quiet, extra-deep lot offering water views from the upper level. Extensive mechanical updates include wiring, plumbing and drain tiles, and renovations over the years include a modern kitchen with heated floors, renovated bathrooms, new windows, a large deck overlooking a spectacular garden, and a finished basement with 7 1/2' ceiling height which would easily convert to a mortgage helper suite. Entertainment size rooms (bring the grand piano!) and charming heritage details: gleaming inlaid Oak floors, coved ceilings, and French doors. Lushly landscaped fully-fenced back yard with 2-car carport & shed.
You’ll love this wonderfully quiet neighbourhood in the heart of Dunbar, convenient to a wide variety of shops and services, a short walk to Dunbar Community Centre, close to parks, and easy access to UBC and St. Georges. School catchments: Southlands Elementary and Point Grey Secondary School.
