LISTING AGENT Judith Adamick, Sutton Group West Coast Realty
The Action: An open house gave the public a chance to explore this builder's own home before multiple buyers engaged in a bidding war.
What They Got: In 2009, Coastline Projects Ltd. redeveloped a 25-by-130-foot corner lot to construct this 2,321-square-foot house with upscale features, such as high ceilings on all levels and radiant in-floor heating beneath hardwood floors.
There is a main floor powder room, fireside living room, open dining area and a combined kitchen and family room with stainless steel appliances and granite counters and island.
On the upper level, there are laundry facilities, three bedrooms, including a master suite with two walk-in closets and entry to one of three four-piece bathrooms.
On the lower level, there is a fourth bedroom with a private bathroom, and a large recreation room with above grade windows and French doors with stairs leading up to the professionally landscaped yard and two-car garage.
Heading outdoors, the treed avenue connects to Dunbar Street, which is lined with shops and eateries, as well as schools and the UBC Endowment Lands Ecological Reserve.
The Agent's Take: "It was a single, detached, small house for people sizing down from large homes," agent Judith Adamick says. "It was a very well-built house with lots of details, high ceilings, wainscoting and high baseboards."
