Attention Heritage Home lovers! We have been advised that, unfortunately, another lovely heritage home is available for relocation as the current home owner wishes to develop the property.
Although North Shore Heritage prefers a home remains in place, we support relocating it in order to preserve the house for others to see and for environmental reasons.
Please view the listing on the Nickel Bros website for photos and some information. Please note that the "price" is something Nickel Bros came up with as an average price, assuming it would be barged out of Ambleside. The price will be adjusted depending where it goes. There is no cost per se for the house (i.e. it is being demolished and the owner is not expecting compensation for the actual structure).
Since the home is 30'8" side with an 18" overhang on all sides, and a length of 42', it is probably going to be too long as a coach house. But for those of you who have a full lot outside of the city, it might be a candidate.
If interested in this opportunity, please contact Ronel Dreyer at Nickel Bros. Her email address is: ronel.d@nickelbros.com and her phone number is 604-315-8843. Time is of the essence. They are hoping to get the house moved by the end of September but there may be some flexibility.
Update: This lovely house has now found a new home.
