Nestled in a peaceful tree-lined neighborhood in Dunbar, Vancouver is my charming heritage home, complete with luscious green space and stylish black stucco exterior. Over the years I have updated and transformed every inch of my three-storey 1920s home into an elegant bed and breakfast retreat. My home’s West Coast Craftsman style is characteristic of the architecture in Vancouver’s west side. The design reflects the personality of the neighborhood and myself. SOCIAL AREA Open space concept is pronounced by plenty of natural light from two long rows of skylights. Sizeable windows and glass patio doors furthermore expand charming indoors into lush, scenic outdoors. Expanded open area has a place to cook, dine, work, relax or watch favourite TV programs on 50″ flat screen TV with surround sound.. Bright recently refinished room is contemporary, yet relaxed with stone fireplace, slate columns, custom-designed furniture in wood and leather. Unique hand-crafted round marble table with six low stools is an import from the Far East. Artistic displays portray contemporary works of local craftsman inspired by Native Indian Art along with imported ethnic art and antiques.
LOCATION The Dunbar neighbourhood is a quiet family-oriented community with tree-lined streets and parks. CITY & NEIGHBOURHOOD Inhabitants are affluent, professional families, retirees, young professionals and students. The Dunbar neighbourhood is very quiet but central to many tourist attractions: University of British Columbia – 5 min Spanish Banks, Locarno, Jericho and Kitsilano beaches – 10 min Queen Elizabeth and VanDusen Botanical Garden – 15 min Downtown & Gastown – 20 min Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden – 20 min Granville Market – 15 min Science World & Vancouver Aquarium – 20 min Stanley Park – 20 min Pacific Spirit Park – 2 blocks
