351 West 20th Ave., Vancouver, BC

I just finished uploading this House for sale, 351 West 20th Ave., Vancouver, BC

This gem was meticulously remodeled in 2010 to maximize its original charm. What was removed in earlier remodeling was returned with vintage inspired new material that takes the home back to its beauty years, all with updating what counts: kitchen, baths, walk in closets, bar, wine cellar, recreation/media room, pot lights, speakers, gas fireplaces, new doors and windows throughout - all designed to match originals ... Some things were too pretty to remove, like the incredible original pocket doors separating the DR and LR, the four stunning stained glass windows, and the panelling in the foyer. But the rest was inspired by a love for new design with a connection to what made this house wonderful over a hundred years ago. One of the original houses built in Cambie, its renovation was a passion project to honour its heritage, with incorporating the knowledge of what todays family needs. All design, heating, windows... choices were made with the safety of children in mind. If you love Cambie, and you understand style and quality - you have got to see this house. It simply doesn’t get better in Cambie.
