Set on a generous 33 x 137.50 lot — noticeably larger than the Vancouver standard — 426 W 17th Avenue is a fully realized 2021 custom build by Desato Enterprises, spanning 3,984 sq ft across three distinct, purpose-built homes. This isn't just a house; it's a thoughtfully composed piece of modern West Coast architecture designed for the way people actually want to live today — beautifully, flexibly, and with income working quietly in the background.

Step through the front door of the main residence and the first thing you notice is light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and seamless corner glazing pull the outdoors in from every angle, while a glass-encased floating staircase draws your eye straight through the open-concept main floor, front to back. The formal living room sets the tone immediately: a gas fireplace framed by custom cabinetry and a hand-selected stone mantle, flanked by exposed cedar post-and-beam detailing that carries the home's West Coast character upstairs into the primary bedroom as well. A built-in workstation with glass feature shelving tucks neatly into the living space — proof that even the practical corners of this home were designed with intention.

The kitchen is where the home really performs. An oversized island with a dual sink, wine cooler, and seating for four turns cooking into a social event, backed by a full Bosch appliance suite — five-burner gas range, double wall oven, fridge, dishwasher, coffee maker, and bar fridge — all set against tiled backsplash and custom dovetailed cabinetry. The adjoining dining space seats six comfortably, and on nights that call for more, it opens straight into the family room for effortless entertaining.

The main floor in-law suite is where thoughtful design really shows. Framed by the same seamless corner windows overlooking the front deck, it's built as a fully accessible retreat — a wheelchair-accessible ensuite with a single vanity and a large walk-in shower, plus its own front-loading Samsung washer and dryer tucked right in. It's a layout that quietly opens the home to multigenerational living, aging in place, or simply the ease of single-level convenience, without ever feeling like a compromise on style.

Upstairs, a second primary retreat awaits: vaulted ceilings, a private patio, a floating double vanity, an oversized soaker tub, a walk-in rain-head shower, skylights, and a Custom Closet-outfitted walk-in — the kind of space that feels like a boutique hotel suite you never have to leave. In total, six bathrooms throughout the home are finished in custom Italian tile with LED-lit mirrors, and engineered oak plank flooring runs underfoot the living areas throughout. Downstairs, a spacious recreation room with its own full bathroom rounds out the lower level — ready for movie nights, a home gym, or a quiet retreat.

Outside, four separate glass-railing patios extend the living space into the open air, framed by a standing-seam metal roof and maintenance-free LongBoard cedar and Sempre panel facades — a home built to look as sharp in ten years as it does today. Comfort is dialed in behind the scenes, too: seven zones of radiant in-floor heat warm the main house and basement suite, A/C keeps the south-facing primary and family room cool in summer, and a six-zone X-66 in-ceiling speaker system with CAT5 and wireless access point wiring in every room means the whole home is ready for how you actually live — and both the family room and basement rec room are already roughed in for surround sound. An eight-camera security system and alarm, roughed-in motorized parking gate with tandem parking for two, and a programmable lawn irrigation system take care of the rest.

Just beyond the main house, a private hedge opens onto the laneway home — a fully self-contained two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence currently generating $3,100 a month in rental income. Large north-facing windows and pot lighting throughout fill the space with light, while the kitchen holds its own with stainless steel appliances, a glass backsplash, and a movable island. A spacious walk-in shower bathroom, a sunken laundry room, and a glass-railing staircase with a stainless handrail lead up to a private primary retreat — complete with a Juliette balcony perfect for a quiet morning coffee, and a full ensuite finished with a deep soaker tub and LED-lit vanity.

Below the main home, a legal two-bedroom, one-bathroom suite rounds out the property's income potential, with the ability to fetch $2,500 or more a month. Nine-foot ceilings and generous above-grade windows make it feel nothing like a basement suite — bright, private, and self-sufficient, with its own entrance, in-suite laundry, a well-equipped kitchen, and a private patio walk-out through a glass sliding door.

Together, the laneway home and lower suite offer over $5,600 a month in combined secondary income — a rare opportunity to own a striking, design-forward West Coast home in Cambie Village while letting the property help carry itself.

Step outside the door at 426 W 17th and you're not just in a neighbourhood — you're in the middle of a scene. This home sits inside Cambie Village, the stretch of Vancouver's Westside that Time Out's global travel editors just named one of the coolest streets on the planet. That's not hype for hype's sake; it's what happens when heritage character, independent businesses, and genuine community spirit collide in eight walkable blocks.

Morning starts with a short stroll to Starbucks, Caffe Artigiano or JJ Bean for a proper espresso, then a wander past the kind of shops that don't exist in a strip mall — the vintage Park Theatre, Kaboodles toy shop, boutiques and flower stalls that make Wine Tasting Wednesdays and pop-up markets a neighbourhood ritual rather than an event. When it's time to eat, you're spoiled: Michelin-recognized tables like Vij's, Published, Anh and Chi, and iDen & Quan Ju De Beijing Duck House are all within easy reach, alongside go-to favourites like Landmark Hotpot House and Sushi Tonton for a weeknight in.

Green space is never far. Douglas Park's thirteen acres of playgrounds, sport courts, and running paths are minutes away, Mount Pleasant Park is practically next door, and Queen Elizabeth Park — Vancouver's second-most-visited park, complete with the Bloedel Conservatory, lawn bowling, and sweeping city views — anchors the neighbourhood to the south. Add Hillcrest Centre's Olympic-legacy pool and rink, and weekends take care of themselves.

Getting around is effortless. King Edward and Broadway-City Hall Canada Line stations both sit a flat, tree-lined walk away, putting downtown Vancouver, YVR, and Richmond within minutes — and the incoming Broadway Subway will only tighten that connection east-west. A block over on Cambie, the frequent #33 bus offers a direct, one-seat ride straight to UBC, running every 15 minutes on weekdays. For everyday errands, Choices Market and a cluster of grocers, pharmacies, and big-box stores sit a few blocks north at Broadway and Cambie, while the reimagined Oakridge Park — soon to be BC's second-largest shopping centre, anchored by Apple, Tiffany & Co., and a Time Out Market — is just a couple of SkyTrain stops south.

This is what makes Cambie Village rare: the density of city life without losing the feel of a village where people actually know each other. 426 W 17th puts you inside all of it.
