House in North Vancouver, Canada
A renovated heritage house, in a quiet neighbourhood, close to transit. Recently updated with careful attention to architectural details, this is a comfortable home on 2 floors: 3 bedrooms, I bath upstairs, with living space on the main floor. Kitchen and living room give onto a spacious deck that invites outdoor living. The house is surrounded by a lush garden with a small park with a stream and duck pond just steps from the back door. A five minute walk takes you to a lovely trail by a wooded creek. A five minute walk in the other direction takes you to convenient shopping on Lonsdale Ave. Restaurants, cafes as well as a large grocery store, green grocers, bakers, drug store, and art gallery are all within walking distance for easy shopping. North shore mountains are short drive. We are in the centre of urban life, but minutes away from the forests and mountains that make the North Shore a destination for hikers and ramblers but still an easy bus ride into downtown Vancouver.

Our Neighbourhood
North Vancouver is directly across Burrard Inlet from the City of Vancouver. You may reach this area via one of two bridges or the Seabus. The Seabus is a catamaran, during the fifteen minute crossing you have stunning views of the downtown skyline, Canada Place, the North Shore mountains and the Port of Vancouver. From our house you can be in downtown Vancouver in fifteen minutes by car.
Here is a link to some great video, mainly of Vancouver http://vimeo.com/20356356
The North Shore offers many natural areas including, Lynn Canyon Park, Grouse Mountain, Cypress Bowl and the Capilano River. All of these areas offer great opportunities for hiking in the summer and Grouse Mountain and Cypress Bowl have skiing and snowboarding in the winter.
Our house is two blocks from Lonsdale Avenue. Lonsdale is a busy shopping area offering access to public transit and wide variety of grocery shopping and restaurants.
We are a fifteen minute drive from the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal offering passage to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island.
