3557 W 36th Avenue: A Grand Dunbar Family Home on a Rare 66 x 140 Lot 🏡🌿

3 min read

Finding true family scale on Vancouver’s West Side is one thing. Finding it on a rare gated 66 x 140 lot with over 5,400 sq ft of living space, four bedrooms upstairs, a private backyard, and a triple garage is something else entirely.


3557 W 36th Avenue has the kind of proportions that make everyday life feel easy, while still delivering the formal spaces, entertaining areas, and privacy you want in a home at this level. ✨


The kind of entrance that sets the tone

Step inside and you’re greeted by a grand foyer with high ceilings, creating an immediate sense of space and presence. From there, the layout moves naturally into the formal living and dining rooms, giving you dedicated entertaining spaces without making the home feel overly formal.


It’s elegant, but still comfortable enough for real family life.


A chef’s kitchen built into the heart of the home

The updated kitchen is exactly where you want it, connected to the main living area and designed around a large island that naturally becomes the gathering point.

High-end appliances elevate the space, but what really works here is the flow. Whether it’s weekday breakfasts, homework at the island, or hosting a full house, the kitchen feels central without taking over everything around it. 🍽️


Four bedrooms up, each with its own ensuite

This is one of the strongest parts of the floorplan.

All four upstairs bedrooms have their own ensuite, giving everyone privacy and making busy mornings dramatically easier. The primary suite takes that feeling even further with a private sitting area, fireplace, and a six-piece spa-like ensuite.

It feels less like a bedroom and more like a proper retreat. 🛁


Downstairs is where the fun happens

The fully finished lower level gives the home another personality entirely. A games room and wet bar create a natural entertainment zone, while two additional bedrooms add flexibility for guests, teenagers, extended family, or home office space.

With exterior entry as well, this level gives you options as your needs change over time.


A backyard with room to actually enjoy it

One of the advantages of a 9,256 sq ft lot is that outdoor space doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The backyard is expansive and private, creating plenty of room for kids, pets, entertaining, or simply having some breathing room in the city. Add a three-car garage and parking for up to seven vehicles, and the practical side of the property becomes just as impressive as the interior.

Why the Dunbar location matters

Dunbar has always been one of Vancouver’s most established family neighbourhoods, and this address puts you close to some of the things buyers specifically come here for.

Crofton House and St. George’s School are nearby, along with Pacific Spirit Park, UBC, transit, shopping, and Dunbar Village. It’s the kind of location that works particularly well for families who want space and privacy without feeling disconnected from the city. 🌲


What this means for you

This is not simply a large house. It’s a home designed around long-term family living, with the bedroom configuration, lot size, entertaining spaces, backyard, and parking that can be incredibly difficult to replicate on Vancouver’s West Side.
