1978 E 8TH AVENUE, Vancouver
$1,729,000
This 4,031.56 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.
Set in the heart of Grandview-Woodland, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a generous 4,031 sq ft lot with RM-8A zoning and excellent flexibility for homeowners, investors and future development potential. The main floor offers 2 beds, 1 bath, a functional kitchen and comfortable living/dining areas, while the basement features 2 beds, 1 bath, a den and separate entrance. Outside, enjoy a deck, fenced yard, 1-car garage and enclosed surface parking with convenient lane access. Ideally located just minutes from Commercial-Broadway Skytrain, Commercial Drive's shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as Trout Lake Park and Community Centre. A rare opportunity to own in one of East Vancouver's most vibrant and character-filled communities.
