The listing says the rear triple garage is attached too and judging by google maps, I think its true. Wow that would be nice.

Yes I think the triple is attached

Its dated but lots of potential in that community. quiet cul de sac, pie lot

[ercchry]

seems like a steep premium considering the amount of updating needed inside

Holy wood panelling.

Compared to... the other 5 car garage homes?

why am i comparing it to other 5 car garage homes? clearly you can tack on a second garage if you do so wish to jump through enough hoops... so im comparing it to comparable non-5car garage homes in the area... and the $200k seems a bit steep when you still need another $100k in the interior to get it up to par with the $650k homes around it

It is pretty rare to be allowed a front and a rear on the alley no?

Would be awesome if the rest wasnt so meh. $$$

As long as you have enough property to allow the percentage of building to land, it's not difficult at all.

Edit: Looking at google maps, he definitely doesn't, lol. Probably built it before the current building codes were in place

As for the rest of the house, if you painted all the wood trim, and replaced the kitchen, it really wouldn't look dated at all.

EDIT: ^^^ it could be within rules, 7244sqft lot, 1765sqft for the house... so lets say its a 18x20 and 18x30 for the garages... thats only 2650sqft of coverage out of his allowed 3259sqft... and the maximum allowable accessory building part i believe only applies if its not attached

Why exactly does it need 100K in the interior

sorry... $100k over all... exterior looks pretty dated too. its over 3k sqft of finished space and a house of that caliber could easily eat that up in the kitchen alone... especially once you start open concept'ing it

So could be a buying opportunity in the way of grandfathering alone?

Still alot of money if you were to completely gut interior and exterior to update...

Similar concept to lakefront properties in Kelowna who have pools 10 feet off the water. Codes wont let you do it any more.

From the pictures I didn't see too much stuff; the gold lights could be swapped out, the kitchen nees some new appliances and some darker more modern countetops. My guess is the bathrooms could be updated a bit as well. I realize peoples standards vary a bit, but I could probably do everything for 35K or so and be very happy with it.


My last house was way worse off than this to be honest, I totally gutted the bathrooms to the studs, used expensive finishings all over the house, replaced the front door, painted the entire thing, even with the new deck and full landscaping included I only spent about 75K.

Another nice feature of the home is the roof... no more hail damage!

and your time is worth....

I dont think he implied he did it himself?


75k is way to much in just materials imo.

i did $30k on my house in materials and didnt do anything in the kitchen beyond sink and counter tops

The listing says the lot size is 673 sq meters, which is plenty enough based on a 45% lot coverage.
I wouldn't think the rules were any different in 1995 when the house was built, so probably not grandfathered.


I like this house a little better if I needed room for 5 cars:

It too needs quite some updating though
