971 NICOLA STREET, Vancouver
$2,980,000
This 2,508 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.
971 Nicola St offers the rare opportunity to own a detached home in the heart of the iconic West End, a neighbourhood best known for its concrete high-rises. The main floor features a traditional kitchen and dining area, and three bedrooms, while the upper level offers five spacious bedrms and three bathrms. Downstairs, a legal three-bed suite provides an excellent mortgage helper. AC for warm summer days and a welcoming front yard, perfect for relaxing with a drink and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A short stroll to English Bay, Stanley Park, the seawall, and the shops, cafés, restaurants, and grocers along Robson, Davie, and Denman, this is a truly unique opportunity to own in one of Vancouver’s most vibrant and walkable hoods. OPEN: Sept 19: Noon to 2 pm (appointment only).
