6009 ELGIN AVENUE, Burnaby
$2,400,000
This 6,930 sqft property in Burnaby is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. Burnaby follows the provincial small-scale housing rules, so most single-family lots allow three to four homes, and lots near frequent transit can allow up to six. Burnaby's larger average lot size often makes the higher counts easier to lay out.
A rare offering — one of only a handful of properties perched on a ridge with an unobstructed, endless view corridor blending Valley, Deer Lake, and Mountain vistas in one sweep. This 5-bedroom home sits on a premium site with dual frontage potential on Oakland and Elgin, giving buyers the flexibility to redevelop and fully capitalize on this unmatched position. Centrally located just 6 minutes from Metrotown's shops and restaurants, it offers the rare combination of a private, elevated retreat with everyday urban convenience. A true legacy lot for builders and view-seekers alike — opportunities like this rarely come to market.
