About this home

First time offered, 642 W 53rd is a true West Coast Modern gem where architecture, landscape & Vancouver history converge. Vaulted red cedar ceilings, oak hardwood floors & a striking BC granite fireplace celebrate its timeless design. A Roy Sumi-designed Japanese garden welcomes you home. The concrete pool & patios create an unforgettable setting for summer days. This home appeared alongside William Shatner, Star Trek's Captain Kirk, in Secrets of a Married Man. With a rare 4-car garage and proximity to Jamieson Elementary (Mandarin Bilingual Program), Churchill Secondary & Oakridge Park, it's an exceptional family home to renovate and enjoy today, with the flexibility to hold or rent and significant redevelopment potential for tomorrow.
