***EXTRAORDINARY OFFERING***Available for the first time in decades. 870 Bernard Avenue is one of the Okanagan Valley’s most coveted Heritage Homes nestled in Kelowna’s North Central Neighbourhood. The architecture is characteristic of residences built between the first and second world wars: little ornamentation and simple historical features. Built in 1936, this stucco-clad home has inherent value primarily for its association to William Hughes-Games, who was prominent in Kelowna’s business and civic society, serving as mayor from 1947-1951 (during which time the Civic Centre, Memorial Arena, and City Hall were erected). Located directly across from the Knowles Heritage Park located next to the historic Knowles House, built in 1908 and names after the Knowles family. Upon entering this incredible property, one is greeted by a majestic deciduous tree that anchors the front of the continuous lawn. Character defining elements such as a cross-gabled roof and a lovely arched opening adorn the exterior facade. Upon entering, note magical touches such as a corbeled brick and tiled wood burning fireplace, new windows and medium-width, pristine original wood trim, and a shallow bay window with diagonal, leaded glass windows. Gorgeous hardwood floors can be found throughout the space. Two bedroom and a full bathroom are located on the main level as well as a renovated kitchen. Upstairs is a recently constructed in-law suite with a separate entrance.Suite used for AirBnB. (id:25314)
