6239 THORNE AVENUE, Burnaby
$1,799,000
This 28,602 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.
Welcome to Big Bend, nestled on a quiet 0.65 acre lot, this large property is surrounded by nature and offers a unique blend of country living + urban convenience. The house is a solid, older, well-built home featuring 3 bedrooms upstairs and a 2 bed suite downstairs. The property is thoughtfully divided between a residential home with a backyard and a separate workshop/yard area, offering endless possibilities. An incredible space for a live/work lifestyle, gardeners, hobbies, or even chickens + beekeeping! The property also offers huge potential for future development. Within minutes to the SkyTrain, Market Crossing, schools, restaurants + Queensborough Landing. Rare opportunity in Burnaby's hidden gem, where time seems to have stood still in the middle of the city! Open house Sun 2-4pm
