Designed by architect Randy Bens and built by Woodbine Builders in 2023, this three-level half duplex in Sunset wasn't built to a price point — it was built to a standard. The kind you notice the moment you walk in and can't stop noticing after.


The main floor is anchored by a chef's kitchen that earns the name: a Fulgor Milano Sofia 30" gas range paired with a matched hood, New Crystal Kitchen Ltd. cabinetry, Bloomberg dishwasher, Beko built-in refrigerator, and TCE Stone quartz countertops that run long and clean across the workspace. Nine-foot ceilings on both the main and upper levels keep everything feeling open without trying, while Kraft Belgian Cream vinyl plank flooring and Benjamin Moore Distant Gray walls create a palette that's quiet enough to let the architecture breathe. WiFi boosters on every level because a home this considered doesn't have dead zones.

 

Step outside to a 69 square foot deck off the main floor, a fully fenced backyard, and a detached EV-ready garage at 247 square feet. Below grade, a legal one-bedroom suite with its own kitchen, laundry, and shower changes the financial equation entirely. The average three-bedroom rental in Vancouver now clears $3,600 a month — which means the delta between renting someone else's walls and owning a custom-built home designed by a named architect is smaller than most people assume. The suite doesn't just offset your mortgage. It reframes the decision.

Architecture That Earns Its Price Tag

Randy Bens designed this, and it shows. Three levels of intentional design — front-to-back floor plan, 9' ceilings on the main and upper, and Benjamin Moore Distant Gray on every wall and trim. Vinyl plank Kraft Belgian Cream floors run throughout. Pot lights recessed and slimline. WiFi boosters built into every ceiling level. Bidet-ready outlets behind every toilet. Metal roof. Charcoal grey metal cladding with longboard aluminum siding. Woodbine Builders built this in 2022 and it shows in every finish, every detail, every decision.

The Kitchen Doesn't Mess Around

The centrepiece is a Fulgor Milano Sofia 30" full gas range paired with a Fulgor Milano insert range hood — the kind of setup that actually changes how you cook. New Crystal Kitchen Ltd. cabinetry with Richelieu modern metal pulls. Beko built-in refrigerator. Bloomberg dishwasher. Panasonic 1200w microwave. West Elm island lighting overhead. TCE Stone Model 2041 quartz countertops and backsplash, 3cm and 2cm respectively. Every finish sourced, specified, and executed for the buyer who knows the difference between a kitchen and a chef's kitchen.

Bathrooms That Feel Like a Hotel Should

Three full bathrooms, zero filler. Kohler floating toilets. Quartz countertops with matching backsplashes. Frameless glass showers. Porcelain tile selected for tone, texture, and longevity. The main ensuite has a Kohler soaking tub and matte black fixtures throughout. Even the lower level bathroom — the one most builders phone in — gets the same treatment here. Every bathroom in this home was finished like someone was actually going to use it. Because they are.

Outdoor Space That Actually Delivers

A fully fened spacious patio for entertaining. Detached EV-ready garage with back lane access. This isn't a shared courtyard or a juliet balcony — it's actual outdoor space on actual land, in a city where that's becoming the exception. Nestled in the heart of Sunset, this home is in the sought-after catchment for John Henderson Elementary and Sir Charles Tupper Secondary. Steps to Langara Golf Course, Langara College, the Canada Line, and Sunset Park. Two blocks to Fraser Street's restaurants, coffee shops, and daily amenities. Built on a 42x102 square fot lot with a legal a suite in one of Vancouver's most connected, most undervalued pockets.
