Assessment, 2014: $ 3,417,200 Listed for: $ 4,388,000 Sold for: $ 4,500,000 Sold on: Jan. 17 Days on market: 4 Listing agent: Shannon Vrlak and Tom Gradecak at WESTSIDE Tom Gradecak Realty Buyers agent: Matt Pozer at Century 21 In Town Realty The big sell: This West Point Grey property is something of a rarity due to its lot size — close to 16,000 square feet — and its picture- postcard water and mountain views. The home has been in the same family for nearly 30 years, and comprises 3,714 square feet of living space laid out over three floors. Some of the original features from the house’s 1926 construction remain, but there also have been renovations. The interior features hardwood flooring, leaded- glass doors, a woodburning fireplace, updated appliances in the kitchen, a four- piece ensuite bathroom off the master bedroom and an expansive deck off the dining room. There are four bedrooms upstairs, walk- in closets, and a lower level with an additional bedroom, den, office, laundry and a large workshop area. According to buyers’ agent Matt Pozer, the lot dimensions have potential for a 9,000- plussquarefoot home to be built along with a laneway house — both of which could enjoy the far- reaching vistas.
