Sitting across from McBride Park in the heart of Kitsilano, this 1925 Craftsman offers yesterday's cachet with today's comfort. Beautifully restored character home with all of the original Douglas Fir trim work carefully stripped and refinished. The foyer's wainscoting sets the tone for the main floor: a spacious front reading room/den, a large living room with wood burning fireplace opening onto a dining room designed for entertaining. In the mood for a BBQ? Open your French doors & step onto your gigantic South facing deck! Upstairs offers 3 sizeable bedrooms, the front bedroom offering a unique attached crafts room. BONUS - a full height basement with a superb self-contained 1 bedroom suite (w/permits) with its own south facing private patio. There is also a workbench area & lots of storage in the basement (lots of options for future development). The front & back established gardens are enjoyed from every window, creating an oasis of serenity for this urban lot of 46'x120'.
