Downtown living in style! The rental units to
offset the cost, and provide a meaningful tax benefit.
You'll shed the commute, hang out at New Sagaya,
pick up fresh fish at 10th & M Lockers around the corner, walk
over to the Park Strip just a block away, bike to the Coastal
Trail and enjoy downtown's finest restaurants if you live here.
These downtown properties don't often come
available. Even less often is there an opportunity to own one
that's not over 40 years old.
The owners built this home in 1983. Solidly
constructed with 2x6 framing on 16" centers, it's been
meticulously maintained.
There were two lots, inherited from parents
(grandfather hiked over the Chilkoot Pass in 1897). The two lots
were combined to create one that is nearly 11,000 sq. ft. It
runs from 11th Ave down to an alley behind. In turn it runs out
to the Inlet View school.
The entire one-level owner's home is nearly 2000
sq.ft. and has four bedrooms, two baths, living and dining rooms
and a family room off the kitchen. On the lower level, facing
the alley, are the two tenant units, each with two bedrooms and
renting for $950 per month each. They enjoy access to the
utility/laundry room that separates the units, for additional
privacy. There's generous paved parking.
The garage on the alley is oversized, and has a
camper-height door on one bay.
Magnificent south-facing terraced gardens take
in all the south-facing sun. They are filled with perennials,
and vegetables have been grown there for many years.
The views from the upper level, and the sun
exposure, are absolutely unsurpassed. The large deck is
fibreglass-covered, like a boat, to shelter the entrances to the
rentals below. Don't miss the panorama of the view in the
virtual tour.
