The highlights

This great family home built in 1988 offers the owners many options. The family can live upstairs comfort-ably and the downstairs, with separate entry and already rented out, is a great mortgage helper.

Some features of the property include a quality metal roof and double car garage with parking for six cars in the driveway.

Grape vines and a pear tree in the back add a unique character to this home. Public transit's only one block away, and recreation facilities and shopping aren't much further away. Add in the mountain views and you have a great home that will only grow in value.

This East Burnaby home sold for slightly over its B.C. Assessment value and slightly under its listed price.
