General overview
My home has lots of light even in winter and is located in a fantastic neighbourhood in Vancouver.
My house is called a 'Strathcona Special'. It was designed by the architect Joe Wai who also designed the Chinese gardens in Vancouver. It is a simple but very functional and pleasant space. We renovated most of the interior of the house about 12 years ago.
This link describes our house after the renovations and when it was featured in the Vancouver Heritage Foundation's yearly tour. https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/shelley-fralic-the-other-vancouver-special

Neighbourhood
Strathcona is Vancouver's oldest residential neighbourhood and is located adjacent to Chinatown and about 20 minutes walk to downtown. It is home to many historic houses. Strathcona is a very tight-knit community where we know most our neighbours. It is a very walkable area and also well-served by transit. There are small stores nearby for groceries and baked goods. There are many breweries nearby as well. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Commericial Drive neighbourhood where there are many shops.
Getting to my home
The bike route is one block away, and bus routes are 1 - 2 blocks away. It is a very walkable neighbourhood too.

I am looking for an exchange in Oakland, CA. I have a house in Vancouver, BC with one friendly cat and would love to find someone to stay here.
My house in Vancouver is in a tight-knit community in a lovely old neighbourhood not far from downtown Vancouver. It is a small 3-storey house with an open-plan living, dining, kitchen on the main floor, 2 bedrooms and an office upstairs, a family room downstairs, 2 full bathrooms, a large garden and it overlooks a park with views of the North Shore mountains.
