Originally established in 1907 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, First Shaughnessy, was founded with the intent to be an alternative to Vancouver’s West End which was home to the elite. To this day the area has maintained its prestigious allure and is among the city’s most precious heritage landscapes. For anyone looking to own an extraordinary piece of Vancouver history, 1188 Wolfe Avenue is a must see.

This incredible estate-like home was built in 1911 on an impressive 33,800 square foot lot. With an expansive horseshoe shaped gated driveway, immaculately manicured gardens and wonderful city views this dignified home offers the unique opportunity to own a private oasis minutes away from the heart of the city.

With 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, this beautifully restored heritage home features handcrafted oak and mahogany design details, dramatic exposed beams, and extensive use of marble and granite stone throughout. A traditional living room, dining room and staircase greet you as you enter the grand foyer. The entire main floor provides direct access to a walk out garden and expansive poolside slide terrace.

Peter Joudaki, when asked about 1188 Wolfe Avenue said: “Very seldom do you have an opportunity to purchase property with such historical significance and scale. As you enter the gates and approach the estate, you feel as through you have been immediately transported to your own private enclave all while still just minutes from the city.”

This is undoubtably one of Progressive Vancouver’s most unique listings to date. Its meticulously maintained heritage charm and massive estate-like grounds ensure that there will never be anything quite like it on the market.
