Buyers agent: Chris Stylianou at Macdonald Realty Westmar

The big sell: This Vancouver Westside property provides multiple opportunities for rental income as it contains not just a side-by-side duplex with a basement suite for family or guests but also a two-level laneway house — comprising in total three separate addresses. Positioned on a 54-by-122-foot corner-lot property with RS-7 zoning in the Cambie district in close proximity to shops, restaurants and the SkyTrain, the property offers the option to be developed to produce a higher FSR (floor space ratio) or part, or all of it, could be rented out to generate, according to listing agent Owen Bigland, $10,000-$12,000 in monthly income. The original house was built in 1908 and current highlights include hardwood floors, wood trim accents, sash windows and a sizeable garden. The property falls into the catchment area for Edith Cavell Elementary and Eric Hamber Secondary schools.

The main living space is oriented towards the vistas with sliding glass doors that open to a balcony spanning the width of the house. There are two bedrooms on the main level and another downstairs alongside a home office, laundry room, storage and direct access to a double-car garage, while the principal bedroom suite occupies the top level.

The exterior of the building was upgraded in 2017 and it has a Hytec water system. This unit’s monthly maintenance fee is $238.00. Listing agent Dianne Grendovich reports that seven offers were received with the home selling in nine days for $56,000 over the asking price.
