House For Sale in:
North Vancouver, BC

1498 Chamberlain Drive - For Sale By Owner - The first time listed for sale in 37 years

A 5,400 sq ft custom designed home and nearly 11,000 sq ft property is quietly situated on the end of a no-through-road in central Lynn Valley. At the back of the property is a place to find inner peace by the “zen-like” babbling water of Thames Creek. Cross over the Thames Creek and you will enter the trails of forested Doran Park. This is also a great place to start a walk further afield. Perhaps walk to the Baden Powell trail, Lynn Canyon Park, the Suspension Bridge, the Headwaters or the Seymour Demonstration Forest & Rice Lake. All this and yet if you walk in a different direction you can be at the Lynn Valley shopping centre in about 20 minutes. If mountain biking is what you want to do, take a short ride to the top of Mountain Hwy and you will enter the North Shore's Mount Fromme's crown jewel of mountain biking trails. Schools are also within walking distance.

Enter the front door of this home and you will notice the solid oak ship-deck flooring, the sunken living room, the soaring stone fireplace and the vaulted sky lit ceilings. The dining room has access to a south facing deck. The kitchen and family room have access to a much larger (370 sq ft) two level east facing deck over looking Thames Creek and Doran Park. This deck also has an outdoor brick BBQ fireplace. The two car garage has room for workbenches and storage. From the garage you can also enter the main level of the home. The rooftop sunroom/greenhouse has been proven to produce a bounty of bell peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers, herbs and a variety of vine and bush tomatoes. Downstairs the Rec room level has access to a small deck looking towards the creek and also access to the south side paving stone patio.

Upstairs: 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms plus a sun-room/greenhouse. Room sizes; primary bedroom 15' X 13' 6'' (plus full en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet), other bedrooms 12' X 12', 10' X 12' 10' X 12', and the sun-room / greenhouse 12' X 22'.

Downstairs: an above ground recreational / exercise / 2nd Family room 18' X 35', and a utility room for the natural gas hot water tank and is also used as a plant seedling/cuttings starting area.

Basement – above ground and unfinished. Currently used for woodworking, exercise and storage. Previously also used to store home made wines. This level contains the high efficiency natural gas furnace and has access to to the back yard. A large part of the basement has a 14' high ceiling – plenty of room to bounce as high as you like on the existing trampoline! Another “idea” for the basement could be to build a basement suite or perhaps a climbing wall?

The outdoor gardens are filled with a delightful mix of perennials, a pear tree, an apple tree, green seedless grapes, and blueberry bushes.
