About this property

3BR private, urban retreat minutes to Downtown. Peaceful & independent.

​✨ THE HIGHLIGHTS: YOUR ULTIMATE VANCOUVER ESCAPE

​The Location: Quiet, tree-lined corner lot right next to the city's pulse. A short walk to rapid transit and central arterials, placing Downtown Vancouver, Main Street, and Commercial Drive minutes from your door.

​The Panoramic Views: Breathtaking, unobstructed vistas of the iconic North Shore Mountains to the north, framed perfectly by large upper-floor windows.

​The Architectural Volume: A top-floor great room boasting vaulted ceilings and a stunning open-concept kitchen and living area bathed in continuous natural light.

​Two Private Al Fresco Spaces: A spacious 9x9 ft upper balcony for your morning espresso and an independent 10x10 ft ground-level patio immersed in the property's yard greenery.

​Premium Bedding Layout: Designed for group flexibility with a King bedroom, a Queen bedroom, and an elegant Double bedroom.
​A Sanctuary of Quiet: Custom-engineered, superior noise-insulation bedroom walls guarantee a deep, undisturbed sleep.

​Stress-Free Parking: Ample parking space—a rare luxury in the heart of Vancouver.


​🏔️ WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN-VIEW CORNER SANCTUARY

​Step into a masterclass of thoughtful architectural design, where elevated West Coast living meets unmatched urban convenience. Anchored on a pristine, peaceful corner lot, this independent multi-story home is a rare gem in Vancouver’s high-end short-term rental market. Designed specifically for discerning families, corporate groups, and travelers who refuse to compromise between natural serenity and urban access, this residence stands as a benchmark of modern hospitality.

​From the moment you arrive, the structural distinction of a corner property is immediately evident: expanded privacy, wrap-around natural light, and an open, airy atmosphere that row houses, condos, single family home upper or lower level suites simply cannot replicate.


​🛋️ ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE: THE VAULTED TOP FLOOR

The crown jewel of this home is the majestic top floor. Conceived as a grand open-concept gathering space, this level features soaring vaulted ceilings that instantly amplify the volume and luxury of the interior.

Sun-Drenched Spaces: Large, expansive picture windows wrap around the upper floor, acting as a natural lens that captures every drop of Vancouver's golden hour. Because it is a corner property, the interior remains bright, uplifting, and energized throughout the day.

Perfectly Oriented Views: The property enjoys a brilliant architectural layout. Beautiful, mature street-lined trees border the south and east side of the property, providing a peaceful, green privacy screen. Looking out to the north, the view opens up completely to reveal stunning, completely unobstructed panoramas of the majestic North Shore Mountains. Watching the majestic mountain peaks turn pink at sunset from the upper floor deck, kitchen, dining and living area is an unforgettable daily ritual.

​The Social Kitchen & Lounge: The designer kitchen flows effortlessly into the living area. Featuring premium appliances, sleek countertops, and clean layout, it allows the group’s chef to prepare gourmet meals while staying completely connected to the conversation in the lounge.


​🛏️ THE BEDROOM SUITES: MAXIMUM COMPOSURE & SLEEP HYGIENE

​While the upper level is dedicated to vibrant social connection, the sleeping quarters are engineered for deep, restorative rest. We understand that a premier vacation hinges entirely on the quality of your sleep.

​Acoustic Engineering: The bedroom walls have been upgraded with superior noise insulation. This advanced acoustic barrier minimizes sound transfer between rooms, ensuring that light sleepers, children, or remote professionals can rest in absolute silence while others enjoy the upper floor.

​Flexible, Premium Bedding Layout: Every room is curated with minimalist luxury in mind—plush bedding, premium linens, thoughtful accent lighting, and clutter-free surfaces that calm the mind.

​The Primary Bedroom: Features a sprawling, ultra-comfortable King Bed for ultimate relaxation.

​The Guest Sanctuary: Equipped with a plush Queen Bed, perfect for couples or corporate travelers.

​The Third Bedroom: Configured with an elegant Double Bed, providing excellent flexibility for families or extra guests.


​🌳 THE AL FRESCO EXPERIENCE: TWO OUTDOOR OASISES

​Why settle for a simple patio when you can enjoy two distinct outdoor living experiences? This property blends interior luxury with the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest through its custom-designed outdoor zones.

​1. The Sky Deck (9x9 ft Upper Balcony)
​Directly accessible from the vaulted upper living area, this elevated balcony is your front-row seat to the city. It is perfectly sized for morning yoga, slow sips of coffee, or an intimate evening glass of wine against the backdrop of the North Shore mountains.

​2. The Garden Terrace (10x10 ft Ground Patio)
​Tucked into the lush, manicured yard space, this large lower patio is an oasis of calm. Enclosed by beautiful garden greenery, it offers a cool, shaded environment perfect for afternoon reading, family board games, or simply unwinding while listening to the birds.

What a phenomenal stay!! Property was beautiful and comfortable for the 4 of us. The proximity to everything was key, we were right inn the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. There was a grocery store near by, and transit was close. Robin was an exceptional host and was quick to answer our questions. The beds were super comfy and the living room was perfect for chilling out. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and took advantage of being able to make some meals at home. Check in and check out was stress free, simple, and Robin even welcomed us with a bottle of wine and cookies . Truly the host with the most!! I highly recommend Robin’s place, we loved our stay.

Would love to welcome you back anytime you are in our neck of the woods again - and the same goes for your friends and family :) Enjoy the rest of your summer!

About the host

Hosted by GN

Host profile image
​I work in real estate development and hospitality design, which means I’m professionally obsessed with great spaces and exceptional guest experiences. My lifestyle is all about balance: you’ll either find me deep in a fitness routine (yoga, weight training, and golf) or completely unwinding with a premium glass of wine, a scotch tasting, or a nature walk at sunset. I host because I love creating the kind of refined, peaceful sanctuary I look for when I travel. Welcome to your perfectly curated home away from home!

Why they chose this property

🗺️ THE LOCATION DIARY: WHY I CHOSE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

​To understand this neighborhood is to understand a more authentic side of Vancouver.

​With a background in hospitality and real estate, I view homes as more than just buildings; I focus on how a property connects with the community, landscape, and city rhythm. This quiet corner lot stood out immediately as a rare blend of peaceful residential living and exceptional convenience. It offers a calm, tree-lined sanctuary that keeps you incredibly close to the city’s best culinary and cultural destinations.

​🌳 THE SCENE: URBAN ENERGY MEETS REFINED SERENITY

​A beautifully quiet block. The home sits on a corner lot, it enjoys an open, airy feel with mature trees along the southern and eastern sides of the property. This greenery creates a natural sense of privacy, giving the home a peaceful, sun-dappled vibe.

​At the same time, the upper floor opens to a striking, north-facing view of the North Shore Mountains. The backdrop changes beautifully throughout the day—crisp in the morning, glowing at sunset—becoming a central part of the everyday experience here.

​The appeal of this location lies entirely in the contrast: you are tucked into a tranquil residential setting, yet only a short drive from Vancouver’s finest independent dining. Main Street and Commercial Drive are both minutes away, putting artisan coffee shops, award-winning restaurants, and vibrant local character within easy reach without sacrificing your calm.

​🏔️ WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE
​This neighborhood is ideal for travelers who want the real Vancouver experience—elevated, peaceful, and perfectly connected. You can start your morning with coffee on a private balcony overlooking the mountains, spend the afternoon exploring nearby parks or Trout Lake, and end the day at one of the city’s celebrated eateries. It is a safe, quiet, and beautifully located home base designed for guests who want the absolute best of both relaxation and urban convenience.
