Private Paradise on the Slope

The South Slope could be called Burnaby’s best kept secret, with its central Metro Vancouver location, stunning views and its quiet, pretty streetscapes that make it the perfect location for raising a family.

Every so often there is that rarely available property that comes to market, a property like 4364 Southwood Street.

This 1951 mid-century gem, on the market for the first time in more than four decades and situated on 100 by 169-square-foot lot, offers a sensational layout and nearly 4,800 square feet of living space on two levels.

Over the Japanese-inspired front walkway bridge, past the lovely low-maintenance mature landscaping and through a double front door, you’ll find a spacious main floor that boasts a large foyer opening to a light-filled living room with a unique two-sided rock fireplace and a feature wall of windows offering a magnificent 180-degree southern vista. If you’re looking for a less-formal place to put up your feet, the family room on the main floor is the perfect hideaway, and also has a gas fireplace for curling up with a book.

The dining room leads to an updated cook-friendly kitchen, with a centre island, granite countertops and a built-in eating nook. Off the kitchen is a 17×22-foot sun deck for those days when dining al fresco is the only way to go. Also on the main are a full bathroom, three spacious bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, a laundry/mud room and a powder room for guests.

Whether you’re the entertaining type, or just need room to move for your family, this home has it all.

The lower level offers a games room and a spacious separate recreation room, complete with a fireplace and built-in bar, which opens on to a massive outdoor deck complete with a covered cabana and beautiful in-ground pool. The lower level also has a bedroom, flex space, an indoor sauna, lots of storage, a workshop and a Tuscan-style wine cellar.

The fully fenced backyard, with its mature landscaping and multiple entertainment options, is the envy of the block, it’s the perfect place to make your own private oasis.

Calling 4364 Southwood Street home means you will be living on a sprawling 16,900-square-foot property on one of the best streets in Burnaby’s coveted South Slope.

This meticulously maintained home also has lane access and a covered carport, and is within easy access to schools, parks, services, transit and Metrotown.
