The big sell: According to listing agent Holly Calderwood, this house hit the market as a court ordered sale priced $286,000 below its assessed value. What was on offer was a four-bedroom, two-level house on a west-facing 2,991-square-foot building lot in South Vancouver’s Main Street corridor. Built in 1971, the home resides within RT-2 zoning which potentially allows for the construction of a duplex or a single-family home with a basement suite and a laneway house. There is a two-bedroom suite on the upper floor while the lower level also contains two bedrooms and living accommodation. The main level is currently tenanted on a month-to-month basis The interior had benefited from a number of renovations that were carried out last year including the installation of new laminate floors and doors, updated paintwork, as well as a refurbished bathroom and upstairs kitchen.
