DESIGNED, NOT BUILT

Designed by architect Randy Bens and built by Woodbine Builders in 2022, this three-level half duplex in Sunset was not built to a price point. It was built to a standard, the kind you notice the moment you walk in and cannot stop noticing after.

Nine-foot ceilings on the main and upper levels keep everything open without trying. Kraft Belgian Cream vinyl plank runs throughout, and Benjamin Moore Distant Gray on every wall and trim creates a palette quiet enough to let the architecture breathe. Metal roof, charcoal grey cladding, WiFi boosters on every level, bidet-ready outlets behind every toilet. The details here are the point.

Below grade, a legal one-bedroom suite with its own kitchen, laundry, and shower changes the financial equation entirely. The average three-bedroom rental in Vancouver now clears $3,600 a month, which means the gap between renting someone else’s walls and owning a custom home designed by a named architect is smaller than most people assume. And with no monthly strata fee, the math stays in your favour.

Nestled in the heart of Sunset, the home sits in the sought-after catchment for John Henderson Elementary and Sir Charles Tupper Secondary, steps to Langara Golf Course, Langara College, the Canada Line, and Sunset Park, and two blocks from Fraser Street’s restaurants and daily amenities.
