This storybook 1920s home showcases two of the era’s most whimsical details: clinker brick and a rolled roof. Set on one of downtown Vancouver’s favorite streets in the sought-after Hough Neighborhood, it blends period charm with modern comfort. Hardwood floors run throughout. The south-facing living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flows into a formal dining room and a bright kitchen made for entertaining. The main level also offers two bedrooms and a full bathroom, and one bedroom opens to a newly built deck. Upstairs, a newly renovated primary suite is a rare find in a historic home. It has a bright sitting area, a spacious bedroom, a walk-through closet, and a large ensuite with a custom double vanity, heated tile floors, and a tiled walk-in shower. The basement adds square footage with good ceiling height and a second fireplace, ready to become more living space. Across the covered breezeway, an extra-deep two-car garage with an EV charger and double-sided doors offers parking, storage, or an indoor-outdoor space for year-round use. Outside, the oversized yard offers privacy and potential. It’s all just moments from recently improved Main Street and the Vancouver Waterfront.
