8355 NELSON AVENUE, Burnaby
$1,499,900
This 9,180 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.
Priced well below assessment - the best land & home value in South Slope! Situated on the coveted high side of the street, this custom, one owner, 4-bed family home sits on a massive 60’ x 153’ lot with expansive views towards the Fraser River. Immaculate, bright, and airy, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings, large principal rooms, dual family rooms, and skylights throughout. Meticulously cared for by its original owners, it offers complete peace of mind to move right in, hold for investment, or explore future build/redevelopment opportunities with easy rear lane access and a 2-car garage. Conveniently close to shopping at Big Bend Crossing, parks, and top-tier school catchments. Exceptional quality, lot size, and price point - a true opportunity. Open House Sun Aug 9th, 1-3pm.
