A Tudor Revival Hits the Market

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

This 1939 Tudor Revival in the coveted neighbourhood of Queen’s Park is no exception. With five bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms over 3,249 square feet, it has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated to retain much of its original character, from the pristine hardwood floors to the gorgeous Mahogany millwork to the mullioned leaded glass windows.

Built by Evans and Sons in 1939, this house belonged to Captain John MacMillan, the local manager of the Empire Stevedoring Company at the foot of eighth street. It was also home to a former New Westminster mayor.

The spacious main level offers a cross-hall floor plan with double arched doors leading to both the living and dining rooms, both rooms perfect for entertaining.

Also on the main is the light-filled kitchen that has been tastefully updated with custom cabinetry, quartz surfacing, marble backsplash, stainless appliances and a built-in banquette.

Whether you’re looking for a serene space to unwind or somewhere to entertain, you’ll love the nearly 1000-square feet of outdoor patio space surrounded by mature low-maintenance landscaping.

From its hipped roof and two front-facing cross gables to the half-timbering, arched entry and extensive brick and stone detailing, this magnificent home sits with pride of place on a large 66 by 132-ft lot on Queens Avenue adjacent Tipperary Park.

That collector car will be right at home in the detached 19’4 by 22’1 garage with lane access.

Centrally located for commuting and within walking distance of schools, shops, services, parks and recreation — not to mention front row seating for the city’s annual Hyack Parade — calling 505 Queens Avenue home means living in a quiet urban enclave that is perfect for the whole family.
