Warmth and Charm Abound in This Queen’s Park Home

If you’ve been looking for a lovely heritage home, one that has retained its magnificent vintage charm but has been thoughtfully updated for today’s modern family, then this stunning beauty in the heart of New Westminster’s Queen’s Park will not disappoint.

From the gabled roof and bay window to the turned porch columns and heritage colours, this lovely home with its classic lines and undeniable curb appeal was built in 1892 for local tailor Alex McRae.

Once inside this warm and inviting 2,664-square-foot home you will find a beautiful banister staircase, original millwork, near 10-foot ceilings and stained glass windows. The spacious living room with its cosy gas fireplace is the perfect place to entertain family and friends.

If, as they say, the kitchen is the heart of any home, then this is where your family will gather. This light-filled space with granite countertop, peninsula island with breakfast bar, stainless appliances and eating nook flows seamlessly to the formal dining room. There is also a den on the main floor and a 4-piece bathroom.

Head upstairs, and you’ll find three bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. The large primary bedroom with high ceiling has loads of closet space with built-in shelving and drawers. This level also includes a full bathroom with a walk-in shower and pedestal sink.

The fully finished basement level in this home offers even more family-friendly living space including a good-sized recreation room, kitchen, full bathroom, one more bedroom, plenty of extra storage, and a separate laundry area.

Some updates to this home include replacement of hot and cold-water lines throughout the house, and installation of separate sewer and stormwater lines from the house to the City mains, and an exterior stormwater sump.

With summer fast-approaching, you will love spending time outdoors relaxing on the private patio under the large pergola with built-in stained glass windows. This serene space is surrounded by mature gardens and a stone fountain offering a peaceful spot to unwind at the end of a long day.

And the location of the house is ideal — it is a few minutes walk from Queen’s Park, Tipperary Park and the Farmer’s Market and within walking distance of shops, schools, transit and all the services that Uptown New Westminster has to offer.
