1550 Kent Street, White Rock | Listed at $1,399,900

A rare opportunity has just come to market - a renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home positioned directly across from a family park in the heart of White Rock. Properties facing parks in established neighbourhoods like this represent some of the most sought-after locations in the city.

A Kitchen Worth Cooking In:

The heart of this home is the completely transformed kitchen. Custom cherry cabinetry demonstrates quality craftsmanship, while granite countertops and stainless steel appliances create a workspace that serious home cooks appreciate. The oversized refrigerator and gas range handle everything from weeknight dinners to holiday entertaining, and eat-up counter seating means the chef never cooks alone.

But it's the Mt. Baker views from this kitchen that make this space truly special - imagine preparing meals with those mountain vistas as your backdrop.

Smart Layout for Modern Living:

The main floor flows beautifully from kitchen through the large dining area to the covered upper deck. This connected layout means hosting feels effortless, whether it's family dinners or neighbourhood gatherings. The covered deck extends your living space year-round, protected from weather while maintaining that indoor-outdoor connection White Rock living is known for.

Crown mouldings and beautiful flooring throughout add those finishing touches that elevate the entire space.

Suite Potential That Actually Works:

The lower level presents genuine opportunity for suite conversion or multi-generational living. A spacious bedroom with cozy fireplace provides comfortable private quarters. The huge recreation room with French doors creates flexible living space - currently perfect for family use but easily adaptable for suite living. The rec room's direct access to the backyard means lower-level residents enjoy their own outdoor connection.

Additional rooms offer versatility - one features wide plank flooring and modern LED lighting, perfect for office or gym space. The large laundry room handles practical necessities. This layout isn't just theoretical suite potential - it's a functional lower level that works for extended family today and income generation tomorrow.

Outdoor Living at Its Best:

The private, fully fenced backyard delivers multiple entertaining zones across upper covered and lower patios. Established garden beds invite growing your own vegetables or flowers. Mature trees provide natural privacy and shade. The spacious grassy area gives children and pets room to play. A storage shed handles all the equipment that comes with yard maintenance.

This isn't just outdoor space - it's a genuine backyard oasis in the heart of White Rock.

Quality Updates for Peace of Mind:

The 40-year roof installed in 2004 protects your investment long-term. Vinyl windows and doors throughout provide energy efficiency and low maintenance. The high-efficiency furnace ensures comfortable, economical heating through our mild coastal winters. These aren't flashy updates, but they're the ones that matter.

The Park-Facing Advantage:

Properties directly across from parks are rare in White Rock's established neighbourhoods. This location means your front yard view is permanent green space - no development concerns, just families enjoying the park, children playing, and open sky. It's a premium location that buyers actively seek but rarely find.

Add in the practical advantages - steps to schools including White Rock Elementary, easy transit access, walking distance to shops, and just 5 minutes to White Rock Beach - and you have the complete package for family living or investment opportunity.
