1937 Tolmie Street, Vancouver

About the home

Perched atop Tolmie Street, just north of 4th Avenue, this charming 1936 home offers a rare blend of history and potential. Sitting on a large 66 x 165-ft lot (10,900 sq ft), the property boasts sweeping views of the water, city skyline, and North Shore mountains. The near-flat terrain, with access from both the front and rear lane, presents endless possibilities under new design guidelines for single- or multi-family development. Close to first-class schools, UBC, walking trails, and the beach, the location is as exceptional as the home itself. The garden—a thoughtfully curated tapestry of flora and sculptural art—reflects decades of care. Surrounded by architectural trophy homes and privately situated, this is an unparalleled opportunity to create something truly extraordinary.
