I just finished uploading this House for sale, 2168 York Ave, Vancouver, BC

One block to the beach between Yew and Arbutus, an ideal position on the quiet tree lined York Avenue. A brand new architectural digest dream renovation, fully gutted and rebuilt in 2007 with brand new materials and new construction techniques, that has every detail of hand crafted Victorian wood trim and embellishments. Floors of walnut, Edwardian styled leaded stain glass windows, cut and beveled glass door windows, hand milled and designed fir wood doors,custom banisters and newel posts on the staircase, new windows and trim, cove and crown mouldings, graceful hand printed wall papers, antique lighting and the warmth of historical elegance of the late Victorian era. Blended with the finest modern appliances, granite counters and gas range, two level radiant heat flooring, luxurious en-suite Bain Ultra 7ft. Jacussi bath, marble tiled shower with a choice of three shower heads, a lover's balcony and small sea view from the master bedroom. There is room to entertain your guests at an 8 person dining table and relax in front of your hand built mantle and remote controlled new Victorian cast iron gas fireplace. A glorious mature front garden and a palm and bamboo treed south facing deck and verndah for sunny teas or cuppachino add another choice to impress. A private two bedroom lower suite for au-pair or tenant helps complete this absolute gem in Kitsilano. This perfection of a master craftsman's brand new woodwork and dedicated reproduction of Victorian design for living I have not seen in Kitsilano before, it is a home that will mature with use and love and last for another century.
