2465 East 3rd Ave

Don’t judge a book by its cover. This craftsman-style home may be worn on the outside, but the inside has been well maintained by longtime owners (27 years). Some of the character features remaining include: wood floors under the carpet, lovely front porch, and leaded glass bookcases flanking the wood-burning fireplace. The large third bedroom on the main floor was originally the kitchen and still has the plumbing and electrical for simple re-conversion. The house also boasts a spacious attic with high ceilings, roomy built-in cabinets, as well as spectacular views of the North Shore mountains and the Metrotown/Central Park skyline. The basement could easily be a separate suite; the basement features a kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, large laundry room, and a separate entrance. Conveniently located: Steps away from elementary and high schools, major bus routes, T&T Supermarket, and local parks; ten-minute walk to Broadway Station and Commercial Drive. Only few minutes’ drive to Safeway and Superstore, two-minute drive to Highway 1, and eight minutes to downtown Vancouver. The bones are good, now let’s show her some love.
