About this property
Beautiful and spacious craftsman house seaside and cityside in Kitsilano.
FIFA and Kitsilano together at last! Shout yourselves hoarse for your team, then a short trip home to continue celebrating or commiserating. Our charming and family-friendly arts-and-crafts era home will be your base camp for both soccer and endless summer activities. A short bike, bus or drive to the stadium. And before or after soccer, there's another feast to enjoy. It's Kitsilano! 1 block to acres of park and miles of beach and ocean. 5 minutes to downtown. 5 minutes walk to neighbourhood restaurants, shopping and buses, 5 seconds to city-wide bike path.
With hardwood floors throughout the house, downstairs features a spacious hall opening onto the living room, dining room and kitchen. The large living room has floor to ceiling windows and a wood-burning fireplace. Workers, relaxers and entertainers alike enjoy the comfortable furniture and a large work table. The dining room table opens onto back porch and features a spacious antique table seating 12 or more of your old and new friends. A well-equipped and efficient kitchen has the latest appliances. The large window and door to the back porch which comfortably seats 2-4 people for meals and candlelit evenings among the flowers.
Upstairs has 3 bedrooms. Master bedroom has a queen bed, a large closet with drawers and and 1 separate dresser. 2nd bedroom converts from TV lounge to double bed. Full-size dresser and cupboard. 3rd bedroom has a queen bed, cupboards, chest of drawers and french doors opening onto large greenhouse/conservatory. Sky-lit bathroom and separate toilet room. Full-size washer and dryer in basement.
Front garden features pond with koi and goldfish, roses, perennials and mature trees and shrubs. Outdoor dining table seats 10. Full-size Weber BBQ feeds all the folks. Need a bit of quiet serenity? Feed the fish then sit by the pond and gaze at them. Works every time.
The neighbourhood of Kitsilano is old, friendly and delightful. It combines walking proximity to all the big-city and seaside fun balanced with the calm of gracious and spacious heritage houses, beautiful gardens, mature trees and quiet enjoyment.
You will be enchanted.

About the host
Your host
We are a retired professional couple who have raised our family in this delightful heritage 1911 house. There are few places that offer what this house has given us--a charming, gracious old neighbourhood in the bosom of the city and the arms of nature--together at the same place and time. Both of us were born in Vancouver and have lived here most of our lives. We were educated at UBC and McGill University and have worked and travelled in east Africa as well as Asia and Europe. We enjoy boating, hiking and the rich cultural life of Vancouver, all on our doorstep.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property in 1978 because it had the authenticity and charm of a solidly-built older house with a large front hall and living room, hardwood floors and a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The neighbourhood looked friendly, and beach and city were both right next door. And, in those days, it was an affordable home for a young couple thinking about a family. And we've never had a reason to leave.
What makes this property unique
Oh, house--you had me at 'hello'. Hello to the garden, the pond, the spacious hallway and staircase. Hello to the large living room and fireplace. Good morning to friendly smiling neighbours, thank you to the leafy tree canopy and quiet streets. yahoo to the bikeway just around the corner.
