The big sell: Timing is everything in real estate and this sale worked out perfectly with the buyers’ downtown Vancouver condo selling just at the time that the sellers decided to put their Bonniebrook home on the market. Built in 1995 in one of Gibsons’ more affluent neighbourhoods, the property has many favourable attributes: a complete renovation to a one-bedroom ground floor suite with private entrance, newer appliances, custom crown work, inset lighting, a large 19-by-30-square-foot living room with propane gas fireplace and huge bay windows, an ensuite with Jacuzzi soaker tub, mature trees on a quarter-acre lot and ocean views. The property provides possibilities for a B&B or tenants.
