Solidly built in 1976 and fully renovated from top to bottom and inside-out, this 2700-square foot, four-bedroom home resides in the center of North Delta's prestigious Sunshine Hills.
Unlike many urban neighbourhoods, Sunshine Hills has the feel of a gated community. Access is limited to just a few key streets that curl through the immediate area, keeping traffic to a minimum and the threat of crime low. The neighbourhood is peppered with massive old-growth trees, secluded green space, and fish-bearing streams. And if you want exercise, you can walk or bike the nature trails of adjoining Burns Bog and Delta's Watershed Park.
Sunshine Hills is conveniently located too – just fifteen minutes to the Asian restaurants of Richmond or the beaches of White Rock, and less than forty-five minutes to downtown Vancouver. And if you have kids, please note that both Sunshine Hills Elementary and Seaqueam Secondary are easily reached by foot. As are the Sunshine Hills tennis courts, just a block away.
The home is perfect for the growing family, featuring three bedrooms on the top floor and another bedroom (which easily doubles as an office) on the lower level, a kitchen with separate eating space, and a formal dining room for larger gatherings. The living room is appointed with a floor-to-ceiling natural rock fireplace and an arched, cedar ceiling, and the spacious family room downstairs will handle even the most elaborate home theater setup. There are three full bathrooms in all, two up top and another down below.
That sense of spaciousness continues outside in the large 7524 square foot lot. The fully-fenced back yard is big enough for a full-court game of badminton, yet still has plenty of room for a covered hot tub, two ground-level patios, and a fully rebuilt and resurfaced second floor view deck. And what a view – to the west past Burn's Bog and the Alex Fraser Bridge and onward to Richmond, Burnaby, and the North Shore mountains. And best of all, you can see that view whether you're sitting in the kitchen, gardening in the back yard, or just relaxing in the hot tub. The sunsets are spectacular.
But it's the renovations that make this home so special. All three bathrooms and kitchen have been completely disassembled and rebuilt in a striking west coast-meets-southwest theme. Every room has been expertly repainted in earthy, natural tones. There are new double-pane Vinyltek windows all around, and new glass doors in the kitchen, dining room, and lower-level rear entrance to take full advantage of the view.
Underfoot, you'll find top-grade maple hardwood flooring in the living room, dining room, stairwell, and hallways; durable Berber carpeting in the bedrooms; and natural tile in the foyer and bathrooms. Even the vinyl flooring on the lower level and the 100% solids epoxy floor coating in the garage have been custom selected to match the color scheme. And no matter where you are, you'll keep warm and comfy with the high-efficiency furnace, always-on fan, and programmable touch-screen thermostat.
No detail has been overlooked. Everything from the electrical outlets and light switches (many of which are dimmers) to the moldings, light fixtures, furnace vents, closet doors, door handles, and even the built-in vacuum have been replaced – all within the last three years. All in all, this home will impress even the fussiest buyer.
Now for the lowdown. A recent family situation forces us into a must-sell situation, and we have priced the home accordingly. We are not prepared to accept obvious lowball offers, and we will list it on the MLS if we cannot sell on our own. So save on realtor commissions while this window of opportunity is open.
