6630 Heather Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6P 3P4

Living in Vancouver comes with a price…a very steep price.  Take this 49-year old bungalow on Heather street for example.  The 2,383 square foot home is described as being in “original condition and now needing updating,” or you can tear it down and build a brand new home up to 4,700 square feet.  The current 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sits on a small 0.15 acre (6,720 square foot) lot 15 minutes from Downtown Vancouver.  The ad does mention that a new furnace & heat pump were installed 7 years ago, and a new 30 year roof was installed 4 years ago.  Quite the enticing package for a little over $2 million!  Scroll down to see what we found in Caldwell, Idaho for $90K less!  Click here to see the full listing.
