Property description
Summary:
3 Bedroom Family Home - 1400 sq feet - 130 m² occupying the upper floor (2nd, 3rd & 4th levels) of a multi-storey house. The home normally accommodates 5-6 persons in 3 Bedrooms (Queen + 1 Twin bed)/ (Double)/ (Twin) plus an additional 2 persons on the Sofa-bed in the Living Room.
Full Details:
• GROUND LEVEL:
Driveway Parking, Main entrance, front foyer, laundry room with full sized washer and dryer.
A separate small studio suite is on this level, at the back, which is also available for short term rental.
• SECOND LEVEL:
Well equippped large gourmet kitchen with Dining area at the back of the house overlooks the garden.
There is no formal dining room as such, but the table will seat 6-8. With 2 sky lights and windows on three sides, it is a very bright room that catches the morning sun.
BEDROOMS: The Master bedroom faces East and the morning sun. Good size room with Queen bed plus 1 twin bed for triple occupancy, ensuite bathroom with tub and shower.
2 smaller bedrooms (facing West) - Double bed and 1 twin bed respectively.
2nd full bathroom with tub and shower.
• THIRD LEVEL:
Living room (13x18) set across the width of the house has a mainly westerly orientation for the afternoon sun. Large windows on all four sides make the room bright and airy. One window over the fireplace looks north to the mountains.
Large balcony (12x21) running alongside the living room favours the afternoon sun, and a view to the local Mountains that form a backdrop to Vancouver. A BBQ, patio table and chairs are available here.
• FOURTH LEVEL:
Another staircase (exterior) leads to the top of the house and another big deck (11'x18') 'the Captain's walk!' from which the 360 degree view is just fabulous. Shake a branch with the Norway Spruce, which towers over the North East corner of the deck, and overhangs a few branches. This area may be inaccessible during a heavy snow fall.
Two huge decks/balconies with discrete concealed nighttime illumination equals a summer entertainer's dream. An afternoon espresso or an apéritif with appetizers or both!. Dinner alfresco, then evening cocktails by moonlight on the upper terrace!
Priceless!
An additional separate 3 person studio suite on the ground floor may also be available for larger groups. Please inquire.

Additional information
• LOCATION:
The Neighborhood
Officially Eastside, the house is in the area know as Commercial Drive, "The Drive" considered Vancouver’s ‘Little Italy’ with its cosmopolitan mix of Trendy through Bohemian to Grunge and Punk residents and visitors. Located just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown it provides a more gentle, quieter way of life, but offers easy access to Downtown and most other areas of interest.
The immediate area has local individually owned convenience shops, grocery stores, Pubs and Restaurants, also a Supermarket, Banks, Drug and a Dollar store. Further away on the Drive, towards 1st Avenue, a plethora of coffee shops, a few clothing, and furniture stores and many more restaurants serving a variety of ethnic food. Good eats!
The whole area can be walked easily, nothing is very far away.
By car about 15 minutes to the city centre, 20 mins to the airport and Richmond, and about 35mins to/from the US Border. Whistler is 1.5 to 2 hours depending on weather and traffic. Snow tires or chains are required north of Squamish at certain times during the Winter.
Vancouver is a Metropolitan area, with a total population of just over 2 million people, consisting of several autonomous municipalities that offer many of the advantages of their big city neighbour. A stay in Vancouver offers you wide options for experiencing a mix of big-city amenities and laid-back cultural diversity. Throughout the whole area there is ample diversity in ethnic demographics - the non Anglo-Saxon/ Caucasian population is above 50%, and many have congregated in areas, creating a predominantly single ethnic area, with stores, restaurants, services and institutions specifically serving the needs of those communities. These areas also provide a focal point for those from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds to savour and experience something other than that which they are perhaps more used to in their everyday lives.
By North American standards, the city supports a fairly good public transit system which is quite comprehensive and gets you around the area with relative ease. The fare structure is flat rate based on time of travel within any fare zone, however an additional fare is collected if travel is into or through any adjacent fare zone during workweek travel times.
The area enjoys a temperate climate, and the location, with the ocean and mountains on the doorstep is second to none in the world. Vancouver has 18 miles of beaches and over 2700 acres (11 sq. km) of parks.
From your home-away-from-home in Vancouver, you can spend the morning on the beach, the afternoon on the slopes, on the water sailing or scaling the face of "The Chief" in Squamish and be back in time for dinner and cocktails or to take in a performance at one of the many venues featuring live theatre, or one of the many genres of music - live. Classical, pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz.
There are many attractions easily accessible from any area of the city: the Vancouver Museum, Science World, Maritime Museum, Art Gallery, Aquarium, Space Centre, and the renowned Botanical Gardens and Classical Chinese Garden. Your home-away-from-home location also puts you within easy distance of an outdoor wonderland – whale watching, white water sports, mountain biking on the famous North Shore trails, and, of course, fabulous winter sports.
