7879 WELSLEY DRIVE, Burnaby
$1,890,000
This 7,200 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.
Some homes are just houses. This one is where a family grows. Set in Burnaby Lake — one of Burnaby's most sought-after neighbourhoods — this 3,000 sq ft home gives families the space they actually need. Three bedrooms upstairs. A fully self-contained 2-bedroom walkout suite below — perfect for grandparents, a nanny, or rental income that helps carry the mortgage. Unobstructed northwest views of the North Shore mountains from both levels. Multiple decks. A private hot tub. A backyard that actually invites you outside. Good schools. Green space. A community families discover and never leave. This is not a starter home. This is the home you grow into. All measurements approximate. Buyer to verify if important.
