The big sell: This Kitsilano property started off life around the turn of the 20th Century as a cottage for workers at the nearby Molson brewery, and was purchased as a ?tear down? for $400,000 in 1998. In 2006, it was transformed into a three-storey heritage-style home on the 45-by-50-foot lot with significant renovations. It now has solid birch flooring, a gas fireplace, stained-glass windows, an open-plan layout, gourmet kitchen and skylights. Additional enhancements include a one-bedroom in-law suite on the ground floor that could be easily joined to the main part of the house to create family and media/entertainment rooms. There is a large deck off the dining room, as well as two patios that feature landscaping and a sprinkler system.

According to listing agent Stephen Burke, the two big draws for the buyers were the convenient location and the price, which got them a single-family house for the price of a half duplex in the area.
