Overview

A Fairview Original.

Built in 1912, this distinctive Fairview residence has spent more than a century quietly becoming part of Vancouver’s history. Today, it offers a rare combination of character, privacy and an exceptional central location — a peaceful retreat just minutes from downtown.

Set on a 25' x 110' lot, the home has a presence that feels entirely its own. Thoughtfully influenced by Japanese design, the interiors are defined by warm woodwork, custom millwork, built-ins and carefully crafted architectural details. Light filters through the home and its wood screens, creating a calm, intimate atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city, while expansive views open toward downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains.

There is another interesting layer to the property. The lower level is configured as office space and is currently rented, providing immediate income. The R3-3 zoning adds further versatility, with permitted service-oriented uses and significant long-term potential.

But perhaps what makes 1243 W 7th most special is the combination of all these things. A 1912 home with genuine character. A peaceful setting in the middle of one of Vancouver’s most connected neighbourhoods. Views of the city and mountains. Existing income. And a zoning framework that gives the property another dimension for the future.

A rare opportunity to own a little piece of Vancouver history, and make it your own.
