“Private & Prestigious Lot” – $19,800,000

1784 Drummond Drive, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 1B6

Hot on the market for $19.8 million is this private & prestigious lot in Vancouver’s exclusive Point Grey.  Described as being quietly secluded with fantastic North Shore mountain and water views (see above), the 1.74 acre (75,180 square foot) lot  includes a 3,430 square foot teardown in a state of disrepair.  Personally I would love to restore the current house and bring it back to its former glory (click here to see a photo of it).  Sadly there isn’t a chance of the current home being saved.  The listing also mentions it is close to UBC, golf courses, Spanish Banks, and is situated within the Queen Mary Elementary and Lord Byng Secondary catchment.  Click here to see the listing.  Scroll down to see what you can get in the historic Newport, Rhode Island for $800,000 less!
