Then this lovingly renovated three bedroom, two bathroom home is exactly what your family has been looking for.

This thoughtfully designed and spacious abode features a bright french-country style kitchen equipped with industrial size stainless steel appliances, a butcher block island plumbed with electricity and granite countertops with loads of bar seating. The ample open dining and family room area comes complete with beveled leaded-glass cove windows and a Dutch door to the garden makes indoor/outdoor living a part of everyday life. The main level includes in-floor radiant heating and is pre-plumbed for your cozy gas fireplace install. The bright living area is complemented with leaded peekaboo windows and French doors leading to a peaceful east and south exposed front yard, a sanctuary that’s perfect for catching the sun with your morning coffee. The main level also features a beautifully tiled “wet room” style bathroom with a rain shower head.

Upstairs, enjoy a luxurious Master bedroom that honours old-world charm. Take advantage of wall-to-wall customized built-in closets and enjoy views of your lush private yard from a charming Juliet balcony. The spacious Jr. Master includes a wall of windows that both lets in the natural light and tranquility of quiet John Street while offering lots of privacy from mature trees. Just down the hall, and adjacent to the sweetest little third bedroom, is a cozy sitting area for unwinding or a perfect work nook. The cathedral-inspired, 4-piece bathroom features stunning reclaimed Art Nouveau stained-glass windows from a long-gone church in the Fraser Valley, a beautiful soaker tub under a skylight, and handmade mosaic tiles from New York. Yes, this is a room you will never want to leave.

The home is situated at the top of an extra-long lot with an extensive, sunny, west and south exposed back yard that’s home to a mature and productive little orchard with two varieties of apple trees, a pear tree, two grape vines, rhubarb and cascading wisteria. If you want you can complete the backyard homestead by gathering eggs from your own chickens in the predator-proof chicken coop! This generous outdoor space also features a tidy shed and lane-access parking. It’s a yard that’s perfect for big family gatherings or creative laneway dreams.

This home is also located in the heart of one of the hippest and most sought after neighbourhoods in Vancouver. It’s a stones throw to the famous Le Marché St George Bodega and is part of the acclaimed Wolfe School District catchment. It’s hard to believe, but this peaceful family oasis is literally steps from the bustling cafes, shops and hang outs of trendy Main Street.
