The big sell: A central Pitt Meadows location is one of the advantages of this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with transit, schools and shopping nearby. The house was built in the early 1980s and renovated this year. It has porcelain tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, quartz countertops, pendant task lighting over the kitchen island, hot water on demand and modern bathrooms. There is a vaulted skylit ceiling in the living room and a sun room with french doors that open to a low-maintenance backyard with perennial landscaping, a stone patio, a water feature, and a tall blackberry thicket for privacy. Two upstairs bedrooms were converted into a large master suite complete with a fireplace, balcony and views across Mitchell Road Park. Listing agent Pav Rakhra says this could easily be converted back into two rooms. A bonus is a windowed office space incorporated into the garage.

The big sell: This sub-penthouse suite was a display unit for Coal Harbour’s Ritz tower, which was built in 2009 at Melville and Bute.

The air conditioned, corner-unit home has an open-concept living space with a 16-foot-long kitchen with high-end integrated appliances, an oversized island and granite counters. With more than 2,300 square feet of interior dimensions, there is plenty of room for formal living and dining rooms, a family room, a den, three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a storage room. The Ritz’s amenities include an indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam rooms, a hot tub, media and party rooms and a fitness centre. This unit’s monthly maintenance fee is $1,055.58 and it comes with two parking stalls. A further highlight? The home comes fully furnished.

The big sell: This one-level rancher in Tsawwassen’s Cliff Drive neighbourhood takes a convenient location within walking distance to the town centre. It was constructed in 1976 on a lot with a 66-foot frontage and has been extensively updated. Those improvements include the installation of Brazilian hardwood floors, new windows, Phantom screens, french doors, a bespoke kitchen with a gas range, premium appliances, soft-close drawers and custom lighting. The bathrooms have also been refurbished. (There is Nuheat under-foot heating in the master ensuite). The home has a courtyard entrance and a foyer that leads to the reception rooms with a conjoined living and dining room, eating area and family room off the kitchen, a laundry room and an attached garage with attic storage via a ladder. The sleeping quarters are on the opposite side of the floor plan. The roof was replaced in 2003 with 40-year duroid shingles.
