Our home, built in 1986, is bright, spacious and comfortable; traditional styling with 4 bedrooms upstairs (2 with full ensuite bathrooms), separate living and dining rooms and an open-plan kitchen/family room. The property is large and private, west facing and very sunny, with a creek running through the back of the garden. The street is quiet and secluded, yet only a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants, galleries, library, recreation centre and pool, parks, the ocean and beaches. It is a 15 minute car-ride to downtown Vancouver – well, OK, 30 minutes if you insist on traveling during the morning and evening business “rush-hour” times! There is a bus within a couple of blocks if you prefer not to drive.
We also have a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite in Whistler, a top ski resort located about 90 minutes north of Vancouver. This could be used at any time during an exchange. Whistler has ranked as the top ski resort in North America for the past 12 years, and will host the 2010 Winter Olympics. In the summer months it is an equally popular area for golfing, river rafting, mountain biking, hiking and other outdoor activities.
