Family Friendly Home In Beautiful Vancouver

Our detached home is in the lovely community of Coquitlam, an easy twenty-five minute drive from the very centre of Vancouver. It's located on family-friendly no-through street with several other families with young children.

The house is not new, but has been renovated and updated with a contemporary style. There are four bedrooms: the master bedroom has a brand new queen bed; two bedrooms each have a single/twin bed; and one room is designated as an office (with an available air mattress if necessary). In addition to a kitchen, dining room, and living room, there is a carpeted loft-style playroom with some toys and a beautiful upright piano. The home has hardwood and tile throughout, with carpet only in the loft/playroom and the office. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and the dining room has sliding glass doors out to the private back deck.

The back yard is private, secure, and features a vegetable garden, a large grassy area with play equipment for children, a large back deck with patio table, and large secure and powered workshop/storage for bicycles and sports equipment.

Available for your use are a computer and wireless Internet, children's toys and books, and laundry room with front-load washer and dryer. The kitchen is equipped with ceramic top stove/oven, full-size fridge, dishwasher, and microwave.

We share our home with an enthusiastic dog (who will not be part of the exchange) and a friendly cat who is familiar and friendly with respectful and gentle children. We'd be grateful for guests to care for our cat and a few houseplants.

Our home is strictly non-smoking. It's best suited for a family with one or two children, but would be comfortable for a couple travelling without children also. We try to keep our 'kid spaces' clearly defined, and the primary living spaces of the home tend to be adult-oriented.
