'Unmatched' 96-year-old Vancouver home listed for $27.5M
A stunning, nearly 100-year-old Vancouver home, which has been on the market for just over a year, has been recently re-listed for a price as remarkable as the property itself.
2106 SW Marine Dr. is a massive 10,709 sq. ft. property that was listed for $27,500,000 on June 10, 2024. This year, the listing was refreshed for the same price on the same date.
While the pricetag is high, it sold for not much higher back in 2018, when it was purchased for $23,000,000, which was under the asking price of $24,750,000, according to Zealty.
This is The Gables Estate, which the listing has labelled the “pinnacle of luxury.”

Considering the age of the house, it’s clear that a lot of work has been invested in keeping it looking fresh. Pictures show a well-maintained home that features a modern design, but you can still definitely feel the history of the property.
The home includes all the usual features you’d expect to find in a house listed for such a high price, but the staging is a step up compared to some listings.
“Experience cinematic wonders in the home theatre or sample fine wines in the cellar,” the listing invites.

Examining the assessment history of the 1929-built home, currently valued at $24,301,000, reveals a significant increase in its value between 2016, when it was assessed at $9,903,000, and 2017, when the value jumped to $18,002,000. That potentially signals that the home underwent significant improvements in that span of time.
