The seller recalls: “We longed to have our own house and the yard. We felt the timing was right. The bank rates were about to rise, it was a good time to buy. This was the most affordable family home in Burnaby (and it still is). We put a lot of love and elbow grease in it over the years: cleaned up the yard, planted fruit trees, roses, cedar hedge, repaired & replaced things, constantly working to improve our home.  In return, it gave us the lifestyle we were seeking. We enjoyed long summer evenings on the sundeck, BBQ with family & friends, fruits and vegetables from the garden and a mortgage help from the suite.  High ceilings gave great acoustics during family music performance and karaoke time.  My wife loved cooking on the gas stove. We cherished tea and coffee times around cozy fireplace in winter. Grandchildren loved playrooms in the attic, and I liked to retreat to my garage to work on the car. This was a great home for us but now it is time to move on.  We know next family will enjoy it, too.”
