STUNNING and grand 5,000sf Georgian-style family home with outdoor pool and in-ground hot tub adjacent to the supernatural beauty of Pacific Spirit Park... this one is special! With a true cross-hall layout on the main floor with cathedral foyer and open staircase, this home creates an immediate sense of welcome, calm, class, and SPACE. And this feeling remains constant as you stroll throughout; a giant 450sf living room to the left, a 200sf French-doored dining room to the right, and as you walk onwards, the genuinely open and bright heart of this family house opens before you as you enter the over 40-foot vast expanse of family room, eating area, and giant island kitchen that faces through an entire wall of windows onto the back deck, yard, and sizeable kidney-shaped pool with adjacent in-ground hot tub. Returning to the foyer, you then climb the elegant curved staircase to the balustraded upper floor where you find 3 large bedrooms sharing a generous 6-piece bathroom, plus the truly enormous over 300sf primary bedroom with a walk-through closet and 5-piece bathroom including a separate shower and tub. Downstairs, you find this home is perfectly complemented with a full-height, over 1,700sf fully developed basement including a 400sf rec-room with sliding patio door opening to the pool area, 2 large bedrooms, plus 170sf den, full bath, AND CEDAR SAUNA.
On the more practical side, a high ceilinged 440sf ATTACHED double garage opens from the street front and enters the home via the ideally located large mudroom/laundry room adjacent to the kitchen; there is plenty of storage to be found, the downstairs has a separate private entrance from under the back deck (PERFECTLY easy to add a 2 to 3 bedroom suite!), all the mechanical in the house itself is in excellent and well-maintained condition, and inside and out it's clear that this home has been very well-maintained and lovingly cared for. RUMOUR has it that this house was originally built to an impressively high standard including steel-beam re-inforcing (earthquake protection), floor-to-ceiling marble from Italy for the living room fireplace, and more. The construction quality itself, once inside, is very evident... at 50 years old, this home feels exceptionally solid throughout with minimal or no apparent settling anywhere... all lines are impressively 'straight', in builder parlance!
The location is peaceful and quiet... to the west, the home faces over its perfect front lawn to the forest, and to the east, with no lane, high fences and mature landscaping, there is plenty of privacy. The endless trails of Pacific Spirit Park are a 200m stroll away, UBC is a 4-minute drive, Kerrisdale and Dunbar neighbourhoods are 5-10 minutes by car, numerous beaches and coastal accesses are 5-10 minutes away, downtown or the airport 20 minutes away. It's truly an incredible home (though you may want a Roomba for each floor!) for a large family, including the possibility of having a generous income suite downstairs.
**Ownership here can be tremendous value... First Nations Non-prepaid Leasehold ownership can mean significantly less downpayment and monthly overhead relative to even a modest family-sized freehold property nearby, providing a savvy buyer with plenty of investment options to explore elsewhere... reach out for examples of how this math can possibly work for you (and YES, conventional financing can be available, for qualified buyers, please enquire!).**
