1701 SEMLIN DRIVE, Vancouver

$1,799,000

This 2,013 sqft property in Vancouver is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. In Vancouver, most single-family lots fall under the R1-1 zone, which allows a multiplex of up to six units on many lots, and more on larger or corner sites. The final count depends on lot area, frontage, and whether you keep any existing character home, so each lot should be checked against the city's rules.

Beautifully renovated character home on a corner lot in a prime Grandview location, just steps from Commercial Drive. Thoughtfully laid out with a 3-bedroom + den upper suite over 2 levels, & a separate 3-bedroom suite with its own entrance and laundry, offering excellent flexibility and income potential. Fully renovated in 2014, including plumbing, electrical, kitchens and bathrooms, this is a true turn-key opportunity. Over-height ceilings, a top-floor primary suite with ensuite, a den and skylight add to the charm. Mature gardens & private patio spaces offer a peaceful retreat, while parks, schools, shops and everyday essentials are all within easy walking distance. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated character home in one of East Vancouver’s most sought-after neighbourhood.
