The house includes:
- A living room, a dining room with 6 seats, and a kitchen with a 4-seat table.
- A king-sized bed in a master bedroom and a private bathroom with a bathtub, shower, sink and toilet.
- A second bedroom with a queen-sized bed.

Trees and shrubs make the large back yard private, with both sunny and shady areas. We grow vegetables, kitchen herbs and flowers in the back yard. In one corner, there's a greenhouse, workshop and art studio.
We also have a large, roof covered patio deck with an outdoor table and 6 chairs. You can cook some meals outside, with a propane-heated barbecue.

Vizinhança
Sobre a vizinhança
Our Lynn Valley home is a 10-minute walk from the trails of 250-hectare Lynn Canyon Park. This park has a free suspension bridge across a river canyon, a restaurant and a small nature museum called The Ecology Centre.
Trails from Lynn Canyon Park lead to adjacent parks that protect thousands of hectares of forests, rivers, lakes and mountain peaks. For example: The Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve encompasses 5,600 hectares of wilderness. Cyclists enjoy that park's 11 km paved bicycle path to an old-growth forest, a fish hatchery and a viewpoint above a water reservoir dam.
Some other large parks in North Vancouver: Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, Mount Seymour Provincial Park (with a car road to the alpine area), and Grouse Mountain (gondola ride, restaurant, zip line, a logging show and safe viewing area for two grizzly bears).
Sometimes, we see deer, bald eagles, coyotes, racoon or black bears in nearby forests or in our neighbourhood.
We are very close to wilderness, but Lynn Valley has all the services that visitors need. The nearest shopping area is just 1 kilometre from our home. There are 2 supermarkets with bakeries, a third bakery, a fish and meat and delicatessen store, a fruit and vegetable market, 3 banks with automatic teller machines, 2 wine and liquor stores, 5 restaurants, coffee shops, 3 pharmacies and a walk-in medical clinic.
Our home is a 2.5 kilometres from the Trans-Canada Highway. That highway and other major roads lead to places such as sandy beaches in West Vancouver, Vancouver and the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal to Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.
Many visitors also enjoy driving the scenic highway to Whistler, the resort village that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Or you can drive east on the Trans-Canada highway to reach the fruit orchards of the Okanagan, the Cariboo and Chilcotin regions or the world-renowned Rocky Mountains.
If you don't wish to drive a car in the City of Vancouver, our street is on a public bus route to places like the Lonsdale Quay Market and nearby SeaBus terminal. The SeaBus is a scenic 12-minute ferry to downtown Vancouver. The passenger ferry docks at Waterfront Station, a public transit hub with connections to 3 rapid transit lines and bus lines. The City of Vancouver is a multi-ethnic city with many cultural, entertainment and artistic attractions (and many delicious ethnic restaurants!).

Glenn and his family's house is lovely, clean, and tucked away in a quiet residential area of Vancouver. The kitchen is super comfortable, and the garden is beautiful and well cared for. Getting to the city center is easy with the convenient water taxi. Everything you see in the listing and photos is completely accurate—what you see is exactly what you get!

Can we visit your community?
We love to spend time in different countries and cultures.
We like to stay for weeks in one area, to better experience and appreciate unique landscapes, history, music and art.
We have a daughter and a son. They are now adults and have their own homes in the Vancouver area, so we have a comfortable house and yard to offer for a home exchange.
