Description

Set on a charming tree-lined street, 737 Vancouver Street is one of eight distinguished homes envisioned by architect John Teague for Hedley Chapman in 1892. Thoughtfully reimagined into four stylish rental suites, the home underwent a complete renovation in 2014, executed with precision and no detail overlooked with design by Ryan Hoyt. The timeless character remains, featuring exposed brick, fir flooring, and soaring ceilings that celebrate its heritage. Each private suite offers sound and fire separation, its own water and hydro meters, laundry, hot water tank, and storage locker. Expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light. Perfectly positioned only blocks from Cook Street Village and downtown, it provides easy access to shops, cafés, and amenities. A detached single-car garage adds further income possibilities. Designed for effortless ownership, this exceptional property offers the ideal balance of classic craftsmanship and modern refinement. (id:63159)

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
