Spend your sabbatical in this warm, light-filled family home in Kerrisdale, one of Vancouver's most established westside neighbourhoods. Fully furnished and move-in ready — just bring your suitcases. THE HOME This 4+ bedroom house blends classic charm with thoughtful updates throughout. At its heart is an open kitchen that flows into a bright dining area, with houseplants tucked into sunny corners and window ledges — the kind of lived-in warmth that makes a house feel like a home from day one. The cozy living room, centered around a gas fireplace, is perfect for curling up on rainy Vancouver evenings, while a flexible playroom keeps family time easy. For quiet focus, a dedicated home office with built-in cabinetry offers a proper spot to work or write, and a brand-new washer and dryer round out the main floor. Upstairs, the vaulted-ceiling primary suite is a true retreat, with a peaked window wall, private balcony access, and a spa-style ensuite featuring a jetted soaker tub and separate shower. A second bedroom has its own ensuite, and two additional bedrooms are set up as a nursery and a light-filled kids' room — ideal for a family settling in for the season. OUTDOOR SPACE Step out back to a beautifully redone patio — freshly laid stone tile, a hot tub, teak outdoor furniture, and a lush, mature garden with towering trees for privacy. There's a kids' playhouse and turfed play area tucked into the greenery, plus a gas BBQ. Out front, established landscaping leads to a driveway with additional parking, plus a one-car garage (the second stall is set up as a workshop). LOCATION Kerrisdale is known for its tree-lined streets, top-rated school catchment, and village-like shopping and dining along West 41st. It's a favourite for visiting academics and professionals thanks to its quiet, residential feel just a short drive from UBC and downtown. Public transit is a 15-20 minute walk, so a car (or bike) is recommended, but on-site parking makes that easy. WHAT'S INCLUDED Fully furnished, including all kitchenware, linens, and furniture All utilities included: electricity, gas, water, and high-speed internet Washer/dryer in-unit One-car garage plus driveway parking for two cars Beautifully maintained garden and patio, ready to enjoy through spring and summer WHO THIS SUITS This home is ideal for a visiting professor, researcher, or family on sabbatical looking for a genuine home-away-from-home rather than a sterile short-term rental. The bedroom mix (including nursery and kids' room setups) makes it especially well suited to a family with young children, and the excellent school catchment is a real draw if you're relocating temporarily with kids in tow. We're happy to answer questions about the neighborhood, schools, or logistics — feel free to reach out. We hope you'll love this house as much as we do, and take good care of it (and the plants!) while we're away.
