Description
Live in the heart of North Vancouver. Im a retired nurse and live in a house built in 1926. Old but well-built home.
Easy go to Vancouver 30 minutes bus.
North Shore offers many hiking trails living close to the mountains.
I also have two dogs and 2 cats. So its a home for a person who likes animals.
I'm not a meat eater, but if you like to eat meat please go out to do that. I don't care for flesh being cooked in my kitchen :)
