Yale Street - Starting off strong.
Starting off strong with number five on our list, we have a brand new side-by-side duplex in Hastings-Sunrise. This beautifully crafted home offers a generous 2,185 sq. ft. of living space, three spacious bedrooms on the main level and a legal two-bedroom suite in the basement.
Whether it’s the bright, expansive living room or the modern, open-concept kitchen (ideal for entertaining) that slid this listing into our top five, we aren’t certain. But we know for $1.64 million, this attractive home has earned its spot.
Chilliwack - Sink into a show stopper.
Our next contender just shy of the podium spots takes us to Chilliwack. Offering five bedrooms and washrooms, a separate two-bedroom suite and an open-concept main floor that features a bright and sophisticated great room with a gas fireplace, you know the competition is high on this list.
At $1.07 million, you’re getting one showstopper of a kitchen including a farm style sink, as well as a primary suite that comes well-equipped with all your wanted trimmings.
Clear Hills Country - Look at the price!
Claiming the bronze on this list is your dream country retreat. This beautiful 19.66-acre property is surrounded by trees and gardens and offers the perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty. The five-bedroom, two-bathroom home features 1,344 sq. ft. of cozy living space. Plus, two south-facing decks and a three-season sunroom offer peaceful places to relax and take in the views.
Other than the 10 ft. x 16 ft. shed and an old 26 ft. x 32 ft. pole barn with plenty of space for gardening, animals, or other hobbies, we think it’s the price that put this listing on the podium. This home could be all yours for $365,000.
County of Grande Prairie - Saddle up for second.
Saddling up for the silver medal, our second place sits on 116 acres of beautifully landscaped property. Fully fenced and thoughtfully designed, this property includes all the amenities any horse lover could dream of, including a 150 x 250 ft. outdoor riding arena (perfect for training or recreational riding) and a seven-stall, tinned and insulated horse barn, just to name a few amenities.
Whether it’s the fully stacked, separated personal workshop of two-story, bungalow style home, it’s time to pack up all of your riding gear, get the steeds into the trailer and purchase this home for $934,900.
Langley - A storybook home takes gold.
First place happens when cottage charm meets country living all within minutes from the city. We’ve seen that happen with this updated three-bed, two-bath rancher surrounded by nature in every direction. Set on a private 0.88-acre lot with mature trees and a beautiful creek that adds a storybook feel, you’ll experience warm hardwood floors, spacious rooms and thoughtful updates that make this home inviting and functional.
It could be the rustic fir trim and beams, or the large windows framing the lush greenery outside? Maybe it’s the wrap-around deck, space for your dream garden, or the insulated detached studio? Perhaps it’s the $1.2 million price range? Although we can’t pinpoint it exactly, we certainly see why this listing takes the title.
Want us to sum it all up? This week shows that perhaps the city is starting to become a little too much for most. With a theme of rural throughout this list, are homeseekers potentially looking to escape to the country? We don’t know for sure, but If you need us we’ll be riding off into the sunset on a herd of silky Friesians.
