156 E 53RD AVENUE, Vancouver
$1,699,000
This 3,904 sqft property in Vancouver is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. In Vancouver, most single-family lots fall under the R1-1 zone, which allows a multiplex of up to six units on many lots, and more on larger or corner sites. The final count depends on lot area, frontage, and whether you keep any existing character home, so each lot should be checked against the city's rules.
Fantastic opportunity for investors or builders in a highly sought-after central location! This charming bungalow sits on flat & north-facing lot and has seen numerous improvements over the years, including an updated kitchen, bathroom, newer laminate flooring, fresh paint, upgraded windows, and a skylight that brings in natural light. The main floor offers 3 bedrooms, while the lower level features a 2-bedroom suite with its own separate entrance-perfect for extended family or as a mortgage helper. Just steps from Sunset Community Centre, Langara Golf Course, and Langara College. Close to transit, the Canada Line at Langara Station, as well as nearby shops, restaurants, cafes, and more!
