This Vancouver lottery prize home worth over $2.8M feels more like a hotel (PHOTOS)

Have you ever dreamt about winning a lottery prize home? We’re talking about a lavish pad boasting square footage greater than a standard one-bedroom rental unit, somewhere with sufficient space to entertain and unwind.

If your immediate answer is yes, hold that thought. There’s a grand prize home (well, one of seven) that could very soon be yours. BC Children’s Hospital is bringing back the Choices Lottery for another year, and the lineup of prizes does not disappoint.

By purchasing a ticket for the lottery, you could be in the running for an upmarket, brand-new home while simultaneously supporting research critical to overcoming childhood illnesses, from chronic conditions to debilitating diseases.

Before we explore the importance of your support in more detail, let’s take a look at the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom South Surrey home — worth over $2.8 million — that’s at the top of this year’s Choices Lottery prize list.

With an address of 13156 19A Avenue on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Ocean Park neighbourhood, this stunning home, which, quite frankly, feels more like a hotel, has everything the future owner needs to live their best life.

A lush green space surrounds the residence, giving anyone passionate about gardening plenty of room for creativity. There’s also a spacious garage, where you can swiftly park the 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range that comes with your prize home package.

After you walk up the porch steps and through the front door, you’ll be greeted by interiors blending luxury and style harmoniously.

The remarkable 20-foot-high ceilings in the welcoming foyer set the stage for elegance in the home, while the integration of a fireplace adds a cozy ambiance to this beautiful area.

Since this breathtaking property covers 4,385 sq ft, furnishing it yourself would entail quite a bit of work. However, this is something the lucky winner doesn’t need to fret about because the abode is move-in ready with furnishings and accessories worth $90,000 already in place.

In the gourmet kitchen, you could create culinary masterpieces with the help of integrated appliances before serving your loved ones at the white marble-topped kitchen island. For the utmost convenience, there’s a second prep kitchen (yes, you read that right) complete with a large stainless steel range, storage, and a double sink.

On the lower level of the house, you’ll find an office space for all your remote work needs and a games room for those moments when you need a break during the day.

There’s also a media room where you can watch your favourite series and movies while embracing a cinema-like experience. (At last, you can bid farewell to binge-watching shows on your laptop.)

Upstairs, the primary bedroom mirrors what you might expect upon checking in to a boutique hotel: chic decor with contrasting tones, a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a soaker tub and a glass-enclosed shower, and a walk-in wardrobe, among other elevated touches.

One area of the home also has a private entrance, giving the owner the option to convert it into a two-bedroom rental suite, should they choose to do so.

Another added perk? The residence is ready for whatever weather BC’s seasons bring, equipped with radiant heating for winter and air conditioning for summer (perfect in the event of a heat dome).

However impressive the prize lineup it’s important to consider the impact of your participation in the Choices Lottery. BC Children’s Hospital serves the largest geographic region of any children’s hospital in North America and sees approximately 100,000 kids seeking specialized pediatric care every year.

More than 1,000 researchers at the hospital are working to solve the mysteries of the illnesses that make kids sick, and discoveries made here impact not just the lives of children across the province but also kids around the world. Now, your support has the potential to bring new hope to the children and families who need it most.
