The big sell: This West Vancouver home charms not just on the inside but on the outside too where thoughtfully landscaped gardens provide a lush and extremely private oasis with paved walkways, vegetable and herb gardens, and patios for relaxing or entertaining. The property was built in 1998 in Dundarave, incorporating many natural elements such as a stone-clad exterior and wood accents throughout the interior including exposed beams, hardwood floors, and wood-trim windows. Overheight ceilings and clerestory windows flood the home with natural light complemented by a neutral colour palette that enhances the feeling of space. The layout is divided between two levels with vaulted ceilings supporting chandelier lighting, polished concrete floors, a roll top bathtub, three fireplaces, and an outdoor stone-surround terrace reminiscent of an Italian villa.

The big sell: One of the advantages of this four-bedroom family home in Richmond’s Hamilton district is that it backs onto greenbelt as well as having a sizeable deck and garden to the rear from which to relax and enjoy it. The house itself was built in the early 1990s with more than 2,200 square feet of living space divided between two levels. The majority of the layout is on the main floor where there are three bedrooms on one side of the house including a primary bedroom equipped with an ensuite and walk-in closet, and an open plan living and dining room, a family room, and an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances on the other side. The upper level has a 24-foot-long recreation room that doubles as a fourth bedroom. Laminate flooring has been installed, as well as heat pumps, an upgraded roof and hot water tank, and a new EV outlet for added convenience.
