About this property

Renovated, spacious and bright North Shore garden oasis/one bedroom suite

In the heart of Central Lonsdale, in the city of North Vancouver, this 1910 “Craftsman-era” heritage home is surrounded by 100+ year old cedar and fir trees and beautiful perennial flower beds. A corner lot, on the top of the 19th street hill, with a view of Lions Gate bridge, Burrard Inlet, and Lighthouse Park, this garden oasis is secluded, yet located within easy access to the downtown, the North Shore Mountains, and even Whistler Village. Simply the perfect base to explore and enjoy Vancouver for the first time or while visiting family and friends!

Our home offers a renovated, fully furnished 700 square foot one bedroom self-contained basement suite. Please note if you are taller than 5’10 you may have to slightly duck! Guests are treated to a private entrance accessed via natural stone steps on the North side of the house, just off the gardens. The steps could be somewhat challenging for anyone with significant mobility issues. Motion detector lighting illuminates the path. Parking is available at the front of the house or above the back driveway. You are welcome to use the table/chairs ourside the suite door, but please no smoking/vaping in the suite or anywhere on the property.

Bright and spacious, the floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen area offer peekaboo views of the North Shore. The suite boasts an open plan, carpeting and slate tiles throughout, and all the necessary amenities including in suite laundry. High speed internet access via WIFI, separate controls to base board and forced air heating ensures you can relax and enjoy your home away from home.

We are located close to a number of must see Vancouver sites. Just above the driveway you are immediately at the new North Shore Green Necklace walking path leading into Greenwood Park. For those skiing and biking enthusiasts, or if you just want to take in some hiking, bear watching or spectacular views, there is easy driving access to Grouse Mountain (11 minutes), Mount Seymour (20 minutes), Cypress Bowl (30 minutes), and Whistler Mountain (75 minutes). Other popular destinations like Capilano Suspension Bridge (7 minutes), Stanley Park (10 minutes), Park Royal Shopping Mall (8 minutes) and the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal (16 minutes), are only a short drive away. Or take a leisurely walk or convenient bus ride down Lonsdale and enjoy Lonsdale Quay, and the shops, restaurants, waterpark or ice rink (depending on the season) at the Shipyards. At the base of Lonsdale, take the 12 minute Seabus ride across the water to enjoy downtown Vancouver. Be sure to have you camera ready as you take in spectacular views of the city, mountains, and Burrard Inlet while riding this passenger only ferry.

And if need be, Lions Gate Hospital is a 1 minute car ride, or 13 minute walk away.

This Garden Oasis property was the perfect home away from home for visiting family in North Vancouver. The garden is such a peaceful oasis, perfect for just relaxing with a cup of coffee and listening to the birds. This quiet, clean, private unit is inviting, spacious, comfortable, self contained with all the amenities of home and was well stocked with coffee, tea and spices for self catering. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back here when visiting family again later this year. Last but not least, our host Frances was warm, friendly, welcoming and attentive from the start and we could not have asked for a more perfect stay. Thank you Frances and Terence.

Beautiful garden suite

This was a gorgeous property for my stay in North Van. Lonsdale Ave. was only a ten-minute walk away, and the neighborhood felt safe and secluded. The listing itself is a basement suite beneath the main house; it was clean, quiet, and private, with plenty of amenities and functioning appliances, and Frances was very cordial. I took my breakfast in the garden every morning - it really did feel like a garden oasis! Nothing but praise for this location; I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
