Due to a last-minute change in plans, this lovely home is available NOW for the '26-'27 academic year, possibly beyond. This home is in Vancouver's most desirable neighborhood. Lower Shaughnessey is leafy with large homes and large lots ($$) and so much character. You are a quick stroll to South Granville's cafes/shops/galleries, or walk to 4th St (or Broadway), which have everything, or walk to Kits Beach or Granville Island. UBC, downtown, West End, Yaletown, Stanley Park etc. are also near (easy bike or quick drive or bus). The home is super comfortable and has a really nice feeling. Not cluttered, but cosy. Tons of light - giant skylight and gorgeous divided light windows throughout. The huge kitchen and great room (with giant bookshelves) is amazing. It's the heart of the home (you'll spend a lot of time there). Also, office(s), living room, den, decks, big yard, garage etc. etc. Although large, the house lives VERY well for a couple, and we are super open to that (the rent is flexible depending on many factors). There is also good separation of space. The house was just rented to a family renovating their own home (much of the time it was just the couple as their kids are older too). They really enjoyed it and the location. We hope to find a similar situation OR a visiting academic. If this sounds interesting, I really encourage you to reach out, as we are flexible and interested in finding the right fit! We are currently living in the Bay Area, but are around now in order to meet people and hopefully find a match. Thanks for reading, hope to hear from you!

Comments: Vancouver's most sought-after gorgeous leafy location, large lot and yard. Walk to everything- South Granville Shops, Beach, Granville Island and super quick to UBC by car or bus, same for downtown.
Comments: My priority is finding the right fit! If this sounds interesting, pls reach out. I'd love to use the house in the summer but that's not a requirement.
Comments: We strongly prefer no pets and a smaller group, but let us know your situation, we are flexible!
Comments: We have a gardener so no housesitting needs other than forwarding mail super occasionally.

Comments: Some flexibility with furnishings. Previous renters were renovating their home for 2 yrs so they brought their own kitchen things. Nice sunny yard and decks. Although large, home can work very well for a couple as kitchen/great room are excellent!
