The big sell: This four-bedroom home was built in 1944 on a 33-by-122-foot lot in East Vancouver’s Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighbourhood. Myriad stores that line the Kingsway corridor are nearby as well as Trout Lake Community Centre and John Hendry Park, Lord Selkirk Elementary and Gladstone Secondary schools — which are all within walking distance. The house features its primary reception rooms on the main level — alongside a bedroom and family bathroom — with a brick-surround electric fireplace in the living room, a kitchen with wood cabinets and ample space for a table and chairs, and laminate-wood feature walls. A further two bedrooms are upstairs, and there is a utility room, a 24-foot-long bedroom and laundry in the partly finished basement which, according to listing agent Gary Serra, could be converted into a separate suite. There is a two-car garage with lane access at the rear, and the property is zoned for two-family living with a RT-10 designation.
