The action

The property took about a year and a half to sell, having been relisted several times. The sellers have owned the property for about 60 years, and it was important to them to sell to someone who appreciated the house, said buyers’ agent Patricia Houlihan.

Her clients wrote a letter to the seller explaining how they intended to preserve the house, and that they have family who live in the area. Other buyers had wanted to tear the house down and build new, Ms. Houlihan said.

“They loved it and really appreciated it, and that’s what [the seller] wanted,” she said.

Ms. Houlihan has for years admired this unique property, ever since she first lived in the neighbourhood. The owner even invited her inside to take a look.

“It was just an amazing, cool house,” she said.

What they got

Ms. Houlihan recently represented the new buyers of the unique property. It was originally a 600-square-foot cabin that was built in the 1920s, and then extensively added onto in the early 1970s, and again in the 1980s.

It’s now a 4,471-square-foot, rustic four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with extensive exposed wood interior, lofted areas, a private dock and panoramic views of Indian Arm.

It is within walking distance of the scenic Deep Cove community in North Vancouver.

The agent’s take

Ms. Houlihan said there had been other offers, but she believed her clients’ letter had an impact.

“Stories are always important when someone’s owned a house for a long time,” Ms. Houlihan said.

“It’s still the coolest house I’ve ever seen.”
