On a tree-lined street in North Vancouver, this meticulous 2 bed + 2 bath residence lives like a townhouse, with entry through a 233 sq ft patio set within a gated inner courtyard. One of only four units of its kind in the popular Founders Block community, it pairs 9′ ceilings with wide plank flooring, radiant heat, and custom millwork. Expansive windows draw in natural light, while the kitchen is finished with stainless Energy Star KitchenAid appliances, including a 5-burner gas range. Part of Anthem’s LEED Gold development, it’s located in Moodyville—Lower Lonsdale’s beloved neighborhood for nature and pet lovers—steps from Moodyville Park and The Spirit Trail, and an easy walk to breweries, shops, restaurants, and the Seabus. One parking space and two storage lockers complete the day-to-day ease.

Along the water’s edge on Salt Spring Island, this sunny, private building lot offers 124 feet of low-bank oceanfront and a rare sense of openness across Stuart Channel. The fee simple, non-strata parcel spans three acres, with a multi-level landscape and raised building sites that take full advantage of the dramatic outlook. Favourable rural zoning allows for a house, cabin, and multiple accessory buildings such as a garage and studio, supporting a range of future possibilities. Practical groundwork is already in place, including a drilled well, an approved perc test for a future septic system, a BC Hydro right of way, and a driveway that accesses multiple potential build sites. Beyond the property line, Salt Spring Island’s thriving Southern Gulf Islands community adds everyday ease—K-12 schools, a hospital, an indoor community pool, and shopping and entertainment—set within a laidback, active farming culture.
