DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL! This property is rare in that it can actually take advantage of the new higher density regulations now in place! 4 units in two separate buildings is permitted under the new community plan. Realistically, the main house is best suited to the main house with a suite (a second unit in the existing home would require you to bring the entire home up to current standards). The city says a second residence could have two separate strata titled properties. The way this home is sited will easily permit a second residential building to be built. The original 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is circa 1980 and is clean and move in ready. The retro flair is carried throughout the home so if you enjoy that look, this home is for you. Simply move in and do improvements as you have time & budget. With a little updating, you can have a spectacular home. A suite is easily done as there is already a separate entrance, in fact 2 of them, that will help get that mortgage helper completed in no time. Under the Secondary suite incentive program, homeowners who qualify will receive up to 50% of the cost of renovations, up to a maximum of $40,000. The program will provide a rebate in the form of a forgivable loan—a loan that does not need to be repaid if the homeowner follows the terms of the program.
