$2,799,999
This 6,940 sqft property in Burnaby is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. Burnaby follows the provincial small-scale housing rules, so most single-family lots allow three to four homes, and lots near frequent transit can allow up to six. Burnaby's larger average lot size often makes the higher counts easier to lay out.

Steps from a bus stop and highly walkable: 15-min to Confederation Park Elementary (0.3 km); 1.0 km to Alpha Secondary. Note: House on property, sold as-is, where-is. interior access not permitted
