This Classic Craftsman Offers Options

If New Westminster is known for anything — beyond its great central location and friendliness — it is especially renowned for its beautiful Craftsman homes.

This 1926 beauty in the coveted neighbourhood of Queen’s Park is no exception. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms over 2,121 square feet, it has been meticulously restored to retain much of its original character, from the polished birch floors to the gorgeous wood casement windows that flood light into all the rooms.

The spacious living room boasts a wood burning fireplace with original brick surround and is the heart of this warm and inviting home.

Also on the main is a light-filled dining room that opens to the well-equipped kitchen complete with granite surfacing and custom fir cabinetry designed after architects Greene & Greene’s Gamble House in Pasadena, California.

Two bedrooms, a mud room and a luxe bathroom finished with stunning Vancouver Island marble and deep soaker tub complete the main level.

Head to the lower level and you’ll find a family room, two more bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, office, storage and a mudroom with access to the back yard.

Whether you’re looking for a serene space to unwind or somewhere to entertain, you’ll love the more than 800-square feet of outdoor patio space surrounded by mature low-maintenance landscaping.

From its wide overhangs and exposed rafters to its heavy porch columns and cantilevered bays, this classic Craftsman bungalow sits with pride of place behind a mature hedge on a bonus double lot.

What does this mean?

Simply put, this home has options.

With two PIDs — a nine-digit number that uniquely identifies a parcel in the land title register of British Columbia — there is no subdividing needed.

Have you been looking for the right property to invest with a sibling or parents? Maybe you’re looking to upsize into one of Metro Vancouver’s best neighbourhoods and the ability to sell off the smaller lot to offset the mortgage could make it a reality? Perhaps you’re looking to downsize into a more manageable home, one that is turn-key and offers a roomy 21’ by 21’ detached garage for that collector car?

Whatever the situation may be, this home offers a myriad of possibilities.

Centrally located for commuting and within walking distance of schools, shops, services, parks and recreation, calling 415 Third Street home means living in a quiet urban enclave that is perfect for the whole family.
