This 3,093.7 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.

Hidden behind mature hedges & surrounded by private gardens, it feels like a secret retreat in the heart of the city. The main home features 2 bedrooms, a renovated kitchen, white brick fireplace, French doors opening to a sunny deck, custom storage throughout. Below are flexible living spaces with 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens & separate entrances. Extensive upgrades include windows, furnace, hot water tank, 200 amp electrical panel, roof, gutters & LED lighting. Complete with a detached workshop, additional rear parking & a beautiful backyard anchored by a mature cherry & apple tree, this is a home full of character, charm & versatility.
