For people who think buying a single-detached home in the Lower Mainland is an impossible dream, this Edmonds property would have been the solution to that problem.
This solid home, built in 1955, is conveniently located in a quiet neighbourhood and close to schools, HighGate Village, bus and SkyTrain.
It features three bedrooms upstairs and a partially finished basement with separate entry.
