The crown jewel of Grand Boulevard, this iconic Edwardian home was built in 1912 for the Reeve of North Vancouver. Towering and unique, it captivates with soaring ceilings, a grand staircase, leaded glass, and hardwood floors with period inlay. Generous principal rooms, elegant pocket doors, and wood-burning fireplaces whisper stories of a bygone era. With five bedrooms, a rare two-level garden suite in the former servant’s quarters, and a recently updated kitchen and bathroom, the layout offers remarkable flexibility for families or multi-generational living. On the quiet side of Grand Blvd, private, lush gardens envelop the home, creating a quiet retreat just five blocks from vibrant Lonsdale. More than a residence, this is a living piece of North Vancouver’s rich history.
