512 GARRETT STREET, New Westminster

$1,348,000

This 5,114.04 sqft property in New Westminster is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. New Westminster follows the provincial small-scale housing rules, so most single-family lots allow three to four homes, and up to six near frequent transit. Heritage character adds a design step on some streets.

Solid family home on a 5,114 sq ft lot in the heart of Sapperton. Over 2,000 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a full basement, so there’s room to grow, work from home, or make space for extended family. Parking for 4 with a carport plus open stalls, which is hard to find in this neighbourhood. Minutes to the shops and cafes on East Columbia, Royal Columbian Hospital and Sapperton SkyTrain, with schools and parks close by. Builders and investors, take note: the lot size and location make this a strong candidate for multi-unit housing under BC’s small-scale housing rules. Buyer to verify with the City of New Westminster. Move in, rent it out, or plan your next project. Open house Sunday, November 1, 2 to 4 PM.
