House For Sale in:
Kimberley, BC

Original Townsite Home! This one was Built Full Size since new!

Beautiful Home with full cedar fenced treed yard, detached garage, parking spot on the property behind as to not block the alley. Attached to the Garage ( old carport ) is an awesome heated Indoor/Outdoor room with decks for BBQ and lounging for added year round fun and entertainment.

Tons of recent work! All doors have been updated and replaced, Main windows were updated within the last 5 years, New flooring in the Kitchen, bathroom and hallways. All the old water pipe was replaced with Pex complete with the distribution Manifolds for hot and cold shut off. Original water shut off valve has also been replaced. Electrical Panel was upgraded a long time ago to the 100 amp breaker panel as they were all originally 60 amp fuse panels.

Bathroom was updated with a tub, toilet and sink.

The brick chimney was re-worked this spring and the indoor outdoor room was finished that is attached to the garage for heated winter space to enjoy as a sitting area or entertaining guests. Outdoor ground level decks were added to each side as well.

A permit was taken out to install and inspect the wood stove installation, including the pipe, hearth, clearances etc and passed all inspections ( have paper) and the firepit in the yard was also permitted and passed but every new owner needs to get the firepit inspected again to be legal.

Location is the best as it is a dead end street, 4 blocks to the elementary school so your children can walk not bus to school from Kindergarten up. Awesome view of the Ski hill from the front porch or windows or back yard and very close to the same altitude as the Ski hill as well but across the valley. Preferred location in town, quiet.

The roof, although it has been fixed slightly in the past it has never leaked and so I have kept it because the aluminum is way higher thicker grade then what is sold today. When I got my chimney repaired this spring I had it checked and re-sealed anywhere it needed it. The snow fall in Kimberley is very heavy and often the roof gets uplifted where the peaks meat etc. This house has an old roof under this roof that is still sealed so like I mentioned it has never leaked.

The basement is an awesome space and was included in the sq footage but is a diamond in the raw for anyone wanting to add a 660 sq ft apt or inlaw suite as it also has the outside access already there. The property is zoned R2 so you can build a second residence.

A little History on Townsite or Lois Creek, Lois Creek in Townsite is a special part of town that was built by Cominco to sell workers a place to live. The houses were built on a larger size lot over most lots in town. This lot for instance is 75x115 or .17 of an Acre while lots in Townsite below triangle part are mostly 40x100 which is the standard size lot in Kimberley. The Houses were originally built of two standard sizes in Lois Creek ( 19 ft wide with a steeper roof and 22 ft wide with more space and a larger bedroom area in the upper floor) This house was the larger of the two. Cominco used the best materials available to build these houses for their workers so proper beams were used and full basements were poured unlike other areas of town where often a tree would be havested from the back yard and a basement was an after thought with a trap door and a dirt floor. The Townsite Homes are preferred because of their bones and This Home was one of the original three out of 9 blocks of houses and it was built double the original size to show others how they could expand their house if they wanted more space.

All the Cominco built houses were built with a dry basement that boasted higher ceilings and floors above that had 1 inch tongue and groove topped off with maple hardwood floors so a double solid floor you could drive a bobcat on today. This home is very solid throughout!

Ask about any concerns as I have owned this house for almost 37 years and lived in it the entire time with my family.
