One of Vancouver's most expensive homes comes with a pool house cabana

Lush private gardens, an oval-shaped pool, and a pool house cabana are among the features in one of the most expensive homes in Vancouver listed last month, according to RoomVu.

Listed by Sutton Group-West Coast Realty, the five-bedroom and six-bathroom home features 7,806 sq ft of space.

The listing calls it a timeless English-style grand mansion, which sits atop 23,500 sq ft of gated land.

Some are calling to densify the Shaughnessy neighbourhood. Could mansions like this become a thing of the past?

Listed for $9,980,000 and located at 1712 Cedar Crescent, the 112-year-old home was completely restored in 2000, which is why it looks as modern as it does.

BC Assessment pegs the value a little bit under the listing price at $7,812,000.

You can see the extent of those improvements from 23 years ago in the home’s interior, which has been impeccably maintained.

Do you think homes like this should go extinct to make way for more density?
