The big sell: Thanks to a location in southeast Vancouver in the city's Fraserview district, this five-bedroom home offers Fraser River and Richmond views from its gently-sloping lot. Much of this area was developed in the 1940s when land was needed for returning veterans of the Second World War, but this home was constructed in 1964 and offers a floor plan that encompasses two levels. The main floor accommodates the principal reception rooms alongside three bedrooms including the primary, while the lower level comprises a further two bedrooms together with a spacious family room and laundry facilities. There are two wood-burning fireplaces — one on each level — as well as tray ceilings, and a covered deck at the rear and sun-filled balcony at the front. The terraced backyard offers potential for a laneway house or swimming pool due to an expansive 8,000-sq.ft lot.
