Tiny Point Grey home sells for $80k over its $2.398-million asking price
A tiny home in Vancouver’s tony Point Grey neighbourhood that caused a stir when it was listed for $2.398 million is now listed as sold.
Sources tell The Province that the owner received three offers and the home sold for $2.48 million, more than $80,000 over the asking price.
The house was listed by The Kavanagh Group through ReMax.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the 4400-block West 14th Avenue was built in 1930 and has a self-contained basement suite. It’s missing a few shingles, the bathroom walls show some rot and it needs a paint job.
It has a mountain view and is within walking distance of Lord Byng Secondary, Jules Quesnel Elementary, Queen Elizabeth Elementary, West Point Grey Academy and much more.
Ken Wyder, a real estate agent not connected with the home, said previously that the listed price wasn’t unusual for a lot in Point Grey and that the home itself is likely a “knockdown.”
Wyder has operated in Vancouver’s west side for 15 years and says about 90 per cent of such older homes on similar lots — about 10 metres wide — are selling for the property alone.
