This restored, charming and intimate Victorian home is the owners’ winter residence and is ideal if you want to stay away from commercial properties. The residence occupies about 2000 sq ft of the main and second floor of a four storey Victorian house, and is available from May to October. It can accommodate a small group or up to nine guests, but you will be charged only for the number of bedrooms you use and the number of guests in your party and will have the exclusive use of the residence.
The house is located off Broadway and Clark, in a very quiet and tidy homeowner occupied neighbourhood.
Centrally located, this residence is two short blocks away from Broadway, a main artery that allows easy connection to UBC University, the beaches and the downtown area on one side and Commercial Avenue, with its famous café and restaurants, on the other side.
It is two blocks away from Clark, your fastest connection to the airport and to Freeway 99 to Seattle; one block away from 12th Ave, the direct connection to Trans-Canada Highway 1.
The residence retains its original stained glass windows and is furnished with antiques and family heirlooms.
You will relax in the evening breeze on the deck, ready for a candlelight dinner or for a fun barbeque and will enjoy a lovely view of the city and the mountains from the master bedroom and bathroom.
Custom-made beds, two-hundred-counts 100% cotton linen and custom made mattresses will insure you the best comfort while you sleep.
The professional kitchen features custom made cabinets, marble counter top, professional gas stove, fridge, dishwasher, upright freezer, microwave, all the utensils.
In one of the bathrooms you will soak in bubbles floating in the original bear-claw-foot tub.

Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful Victorian Home - Central Vancouver!
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Mount Pleasant
The quiet neighbour, the balanced location between two main commercial arteries — Main St and Commercial St — the easy accessibility to downtown, UBC, the beaches, the airport have made this location a perfect choice for us.
The Unique Benefits at this House
In addition to that, our home had to be flexible, organized, comfortable, and had to have the beauty and warmth of an historical building.
Owner's Map of Mount Pleasant
We are two architects, originally from Italy, where we return every year. This is our winter residence in Canada.
When we saw this house, twelve years ago, we knew we had found the right home for us.

This was a perfect way to spend time with family. Our grandson's First Birthday was a hit. Everything about your home is very interesting and cozy. Love the view from the back deck. What a memorable vacation. Love the gardens. Mel was great! Thank you again.

A pleasant and wonderful place to stay in Vancouver, close to the city and surrounding area. The accommodation is excellent. The house itself is a veritable treasure house of paintings, pictures and works of art and it was a privilege to be allowed to stay here. Mel, the manager, helped us to arrive safely and settle in comfortably after a long drive from Penticton. He was always ready to advise and help and eased our eventual departure. we very much like to be able to return here some time in the future. Sincere thanks.

Hi. Just a few words to thank you for the use of your wonderful house. Everything we could possibly need was at our finger tips. We used the house for our base touring many places in Vancouver and its surrounds.. Two days in Whistler were unforgettable as was the train trip back to Vancouver. My 16 year old grandson and myself have just returned from "walking Grouse Grind". He has recovered but I am not sure if I ever will. What a climb. The ladies have found the shopping second to none and have spent many happy hours investigating most of them. Once again thanks for the use of your wonderful "house". And we would have no hesitation in recommending it to other travellers.

Dear Sammarco Family, Many thanks. It was really a pleasant quiet place with enough for all five of us to enjoy the long waited family reunion. This home has helped us create precious memory which we will all keep within our hearts and share across the Pacific Ocean (Japan-Canada).

Dear Sammarco Family, We had an outstanding family vacation in Vancouver, in no small part due to your wonderful home. The kids loved the park nearby and it made it easy and comfortable to have a beautiful house to come back to after adventure filled days. We are looking forward to returning!

Dear Sammarco Family, Your place was nice. very homey. Interesting decor. Back patio was a great place to kick back with some margaritas, and wine, and beer... Great place to have a good time with friends. The babies enjoyed it too. Hope everything is still intact. Ciao. (Gary, Molly, Isaac) Your place was a pleasant surprise. The pictures online do not do it justice. this was a great way to experience Vancouver from outside downtown, and we met quite a few characters on our trips back and forth. Thank you all for making your house available. We hope to be back one day! (Greg, Kate, Chloe)

Hello All, Our stay was very comfortable. Perhaps a little too short (3 days) after cruising for the past 11 days. Your art reminds me of my great, great Uncle William Zorak and his daughter Dolph Ipcar at Maine, USA. Very unique. It was nice to have the family all together at the end of the trip. Even two 82 year old moms navigating the stairs. That was exercise for them. Mel was very sweet and helpful. You have a good manager. (P.S. we left some supplies for your next guest!)
