A legal one-bedroom suite, four bedrooms across three levels, and a backyard that opens onto Hastings Creek and the ravine trails behind it — here’s how my buyers landed this Lynn Valley home for way under asking.
I represented the buyers on this one, and I could not be more excited for them — two close friends buying their first home together, and landing it for way under asking in one of North Vancouver’s most established family neighbourhoods. 1426 Draycott Road is a Lynn Valley home on a quiet cul-de-sac off Harold Road — a two-storey build with a basement, from 2011, backing onto Hastings Creek and the ravine and trail corridor that runs behind it.
At 3,061 square feet across three finished levels, with four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a legal one-bedroom suite downstairs, this is the kind of layout that makes a strong price even stronger — my buyers get a genuinely spacious family home, with a mortgage helper already built in.
The basement here isn’t just extra square footage — it’s a fully self-contained, legal one-bedroom suite, with its own kitchen, living room, and bedroom. For buyers purchasing their first home together, a mortgage helper like this is a big deal: rental income from the suite can meaningfully offset the carrying cost of a home at this price point, without giving up any space upstairs. The main house still keeps its own generous recreation room in the basement, so the suite doesn’t come at the expense of family space.
Homes with a legal suite don’t come up often, and when they do, they don’t stay on the market long. I can help you find where the real value is.
Contact JordanUpstairs, the primary bedroom is paired with a proper walk-in closet, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Bamboo flooring, custom railings and doors, and built-in speakers run through the main living spaces, backed by a whole-house water treatment system, a security system, and a built-in vacuum — the kind of finishing details you don’t think about until you’ve lived without them.
The real draw for my buyers was outside. The backyard is fully fenced and backs directly onto Hastings Creek, with the ravine and trail corridor that runs along it — a setting that’s hard to find this close to Lynn Valley Village. Lynn Valley has long been known for its creek and canyon trail systems, and having that green space start right at the edge of your own backyard is a different experience than a drive to a trailhead. Two gas fireplaces and a patio-and-deck combination round out the indoor-outdoor flow.

Deals like this one don’t happen by accident — I can help you find where sellers on the North Shore still have room to move.
Contact JordanLynn Valley is one of North Vancouver’s most established family neighbourhoods, built around Lynn Valley Village’s shops, library, and community recreation centre, with several elementary and secondary schools nearby. The area is best known for its trail access — Lynn Canyon Park and Lynn Headwaters Regional Park are both close by, with kilometres of forest trail and the suspension bridge that put the neighbourhood on the map. For buyers who want mountain and trail access without leaving the city, it’s hard to beat.
Whether it’s a legal suite, a creekside lot, or just more space for the price, I’ll help you find where the value actually is on the North Shore.
