This is a cottage for trailblazers and dreamers. Tucked away at the top of Mount Fromme - two minutes from its famous mountain bike trails - sits a rare, original mountainside-cottage. From historic, charm to modern hot-tub, this is the place for a family to revel in a cozy home after riding down world-famous trails.
This two-level, three-bedroom historic home is a rare find. The 1905 cottage has deep roots in Lynn Valley. Original features run throughout the main floor of the house - beautiful floors and feature walls adding heart and history were considerately left as updates were made. The kitchen includes a gas stove, stainless steel appliances and thoughtful desk space for home administration or family computer. The dining room opens on to a back deck with views to Burnaby, SFU and even Mount Baker. With room for an outdoor dining set and barbecue it is the perfect place to put your feet up post-ride or watch kids play in the yard below. Also on the main floor is the master bedroom and a central bathroom with a beautiful deep, clawfoot tub.Downstairs opens to a great family room. Easy-access, through French doors, to the backyard and tile floors make it the ideal indoor-outdoor play space. There is also a bathroom featuring a shower and two additional bedrooms. The back-bedroom boasts large windows, perfect for an office or artist’s studio. Off the hall is a thoughtful storage/laundry/mud room - with a new furnace. This useful space has outdoor access - with hose - to securely store numerous mountain bikes. Outside, a paving stone driveway echoes the past history of this home. Towering trees surround the terraced front-yard which has a storage shed as well as potter’s shed in the back - right bedside the veggie garden. A beautiful magnolia overlooks the lawn and hot-tub. Enjoy quick access to the Baden-Powell Trail for taking children to school.
