Assessment, 2012: $ 1,554,100 Listed for: $ 1,588,000 Sold for: $ 1,620,000 Sold on: April 24 Days on market: One Listing agent: Colette Gerber at RE/ MAX Select Properties Buyer’s agent: Melissa Dhuu at Royal Pacific Realty The big sell: Listing agent Colette Gerber says this property sold in 12 hours to buyers who had been looking for a building lot in the sought- after neighbourhood west of Dunbar. They weren’t the only contenders, as multiple offers pushed the final sale price to $ 32,000 over the asking price. The reasons why this area is so desirable? Proximity to popular westside schools, efficient transit connections to downtown and UBC, and the numerous shops and restaurants that line the Dunbar corridor. Attractions of the property include the 33- by- 122- square- foot lot, south- facing rear garden, and location on a quiet, tree- lined street. The home was built in 1926 with a stucco exterior and a single carport. The MLS description states that it is livable, but in need of repair. There is potential to convert the basement ( it sits at ground level) into a suite, as it contains a kitchen, bedroom, living room and three- piece bathroom.
