Active $1,850,000 - Attached Strata, Townhouse
A COMPLETELY REIMAGINED HOME IN THE HEART OF MOUNT PLEASANT
Welcome to 174 West 16th Avenue, an extraordinary three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhome offering something increasingly difficult to find in Vancouver: the space and privacy of a house, an incredible collection of outdoor living areas, and the quality and finish of a virtually new home.
The owners invested approximately $400,000 in an extensive renovation completed in 2023, thoughtfully rebuilding and upgrading the home from top to bottom. Every detail was considered to create a residence that is modern, warm, exceptionally comfortable and beautifully finished.
Quietly positioned at the rear of the development, away from road noise, the home enjoys coveted southern exposure and remarkable natural light.
FOUR SOUTH-FACING OUTDOOR SPACES
One of the home’s most exceptional features is its collection of four separate outdoor areas.
Step outside to a beautifully renovated private ground-level patio and garden with new pavers, fire pit, garden lighting, irrigation, privacy screening and landscaping—a wonderful extension of the indoor living space for entertaining, summer dinners or simply relaxing in the sun.
Two additional balconies provide even more outdoor space, while the spectacular rooftop deck creates your own private retreat above the city.
A KITCHEN DESIGNED TO BE USED
At the centre of the open-concept living and dining area is a beautifully redesigned kitchen featuring custom cabinetry with clever hidden storage, premium Bosch and Miele appliances, under-cabinet lighting and sophisticated Silestone quartz countertops with waterfall ends.
Even the details have been considered, including a touchless/powered waste-bin opener and programmable smart lighting compatible with Apple HomeKit, Alexa and Google Home.
The adjacent dining area features a custom built-in sideboard with matching quartz countertop and gables, creating additional storage and serving space.
COMFORT & QUALITY THROUGHOUT
The renovation went well beyond cosmetic improvements.
The home was completely re-piped with PEX plumbing, a new electrical panel was installed, switches and outlets were upgraded, and new LED pot lighting was installed throughout.
NuHeat in-floor heating warms the main level and ensuite bathroom, while a dedicated electrical circuit is already in place for a future mini-split air-conditioning system in the primary bedroom.
All three bathrooms were completely rebuilt with quality fixtures and finishes, including Riobel and Moen fixtures and a Toto Washlet in the ensuite. Even the floor elevations were carefully adjusted to eliminate unnecessary transitions between rooms.
All three staircases were substantially rebuilt using double layers of ¾-inch plywood to minimize movement and creaking and finished with new contemporary metal handrails.
AN IMPRESSIVE PRIMARY RETREAT
The spacious primary suite provides the scale rarely found in a townhome and includes a custom built-in headboard and bedside tables, ceiling fan and a beautifully organized walk-in closet with custom Arbutus Closets cabinetry.
New blinds were installed throughout the home, including a motorized living-room blind.
THOUGHTFUL IMPROVEMENTS EVERYWHERE
The original wood-burning fireplace was replaced with a sleek built-in electric fireplace and concrete base.
The living-room patio door was upgraded to a high-quality triple-glazed unit, the front entry door was replaced, the rooftop access hatch was upgraded, and composite decking was installed over two of the torch-on roof areas.
There is even a discreet built-in wall safe.
These are the kinds of improvements that aren’t always immediate.
