The big sell: This three-level luxury Lynn Valley home was designed and built last year in collaboration with architect David Poskitt and Priivan Development Group with an eye firmly on contemporary flair. The list of custom finishings throughout the almost 4,900-square-foot home is plentiful and includes EuroLine windows, Eclipse doors, a Gaggenau appliance package (including a full-length glass wine fridge), home automation with keyless entry and a 7.1 surround-sound media room complete with a projector and 120-inch screen. Feature walls, a wine rack, glass-sided staircase, waterfall countertop and bespoke millwork continue the modern theme, while an open entertainment space that blends indoor/outdoor living, radiant heat, HRV, air conditioning, a flat and fenced backyard and a two-car garage enhance the practicalities.

The big sell: This three-level Craftsman-style house was built in 1913 on a corner lot in East Vancouver’s Fraser/Knight corridor and features shingle siding, a covered porch and deep soffits with decorative corbels. It retains much of the character of its century-old heritage with original stained-glass windows, fir floors and striking woodwork, but has been brought into the present day with a modern kitchen showcasing stainless-steel appliances including a gas range, a designer colour palette throughout and refurbished bathrooms. Spacious principal rooms are alongside two bedrooms on the main floor and there are two additional bedrooms upstairs, both with skylights and storage. The basement has a selfcontained three-bedroom suite with laundry hook-up, new carpet and a bathroom. The house sits on a 33-by-122-foot lot with a fully fenced rear garden and mountain vistas.

The big sell: The CMHC’s Newcomer’s Guide to Canadian Housing says a junior one-bedroom suite is “larger than a bachelor, but smaller than a regular onebedroom. The bedroom is separate from the cooking and living areas.” That aptly describes this home in the concrete-built Retro complex in Marpole. The well-designed interior has 10-foot ceilings, a bedroom area with a built-in closet, a full four-piece bathroom, a dedicated den/storage room, a kitchen that overlooks the living room and sliding glass doors that open to a balcony. The apartment has engineered hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, slate tiles, granite counters, stainlesssteel appliances and in-suite laundry. The building has a large exercise room, as well as a bike room and underground parking. The unit comes with a parking stall and a monthly maintenance fee of $205.00. Pets and rentals are both permitted and the building ’s location is close to the airport, shopping and transit. These transactions were compiled by Nicola Way of BestHomesBC.com.
