Welcome to our comfortable Point Grey family home located in the finest neighbourhood in Vancouver – your ideal home away from home for the 2010 Winter Olympics. You will love the relaxing park like surroundings of living a block away from the acres of forest trails in Pacific Spirit Regional Park and the University of British Columbia campus and walking distance to the miles of sandy ocean beaches on Spanish banks.
Wake up to the sounds of birds singing in the back yard, eagles and sea gulls soaring over the ocean, but still being central to everything that you want and need. A 5 minute walk to groceries and all the amenities, this safe and quiet neighbourhood is the long established home of UBC professors, politicians, professionals, business people and students. Point Grey is located at the centre of the Winter Olympic venues: minutes to the downtown events such as GM Place for ceremonies, hockey and figure skating, the Richmond Oval speed skating and UBC skating events.
Our 4 bedroom family home is bright, charming, beautifully appointed, with architect designed open interior spaces and hardwood floors throughout the main floor.. This family home features a large, warm, fully equipped, modern kitchen with island and separate eating area ideal for family meals. The home opens to a large elegant hardwood floor living room and comfortable den/office with flat-screen HD TV and Wi-Fi availability. The more formal dining room features a pure maple wood dining table seating 10 guests for entertaining. A large modern powder room completes the main floor.
Walk to the upstairs sky-lit hallway where you will find the 3 main bedrooms and a modern 4 piece bathroom. A queen sized sleigh bed is featured in the master bedroom while the other two bedrooms have single beds. The large guest bedroom on the lower level has a double bed, sofa, desk and private bathroom and shower. A recreation room here has a computer and a piano.
Four large picture windows provide bright natural light at both the front and back of our home overlooking a beautiful green backyard garden and a quiet leafy residential street. These colourful natural surroundings can be enjoyed year-round as the mature trees and grass stay green even in winter. Our architect owned home is equipped with the latest electronic equipment, including Wi-Fi, TVs on every floor, and a great sound system with DVD players, CD and tape player, plus all modern kitchen appliances including dishwasher, fridge, stove, washing machine and dryer.
Walk 5 minutes to the charming and picturesque Point Grey Village for all your shopping needs and rapid transit to all the major venues. Here you will find a Safeway grocery store, dry cleaners, wine store, green grocer, fresh fish and butcher shops, bakeries, Italian, French and 4 Japanese Sushi restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, tea rooms, fashion stores, DVD rentals, banks, medical centre, dentist, chiropractor, physiotherapy centre, and many other shops and services.
