Own a Rare Piece of Ambleside History! Sold
863 15th Street, West Vancouver, BC

Built in 1919 and lovingly kept in the same family for 5 generations, this 5 bedroom 2 level character home is one of Ambleside's original homes and one of the last remaining vintage homes in the area. From a time when neighbours were the Lawson and Vinson families.. you will appreciate the oversized 60 x 212 foot (12,674 square feet) lot and the welcoming front and back porches with mature landscaping and a lovely garden shed in the west facing backyard. With roots tracing back to Scottish settlers, the owners have maintained and renovated the home over the years and maintained the integrity of the character. Features include: a new kitchen in 2018 with quartz countertops, new appliances and cabinetry, hardwood floors. There is no heritage designation on the home which allows endless opportunities for re-development. The Development opportunities include Heritage Revitalization Act Approval from the District of West Vancouver (like the Rush, Vinson and Clegg Houses) which allow for an increase to density and allows for multiple homes on the property (ask listing realtor for details), sub-division, investor holding property (registered 2 bedroom garden suite) or just live in and enjoy. First time offered for sale since 1919! A truly rare opportunity to own a slice of West Vancouver's early legacy in the heart of Ambleside. All changes to permitted useage and zoning of the property are subject to District of West Vancouver approval. All this within a few blocks of Ambleside Village, Park, Pier and Seawall.
