By Jordan Macnab | The Macnabs Real Estate | April 2026
I grew up in Ranch Park. So when a listing comes up on Surf Crescent — one of the neighbourhood’s most coveted streets — it’s not just a transaction for me. It’s a walk through a chapter of my life.
2983 Surf Crescent is one of those homes that does everything right. Built in 1967, it’s the kind of original Ranch Park split-entry that the neighbourhood is known for: solid bones, a generous lot, and a position on the hillside that opens up sweeping views of the Fraser Valley — with Mount Baker and the Golden Ears range front and centre on a clear day. The sellers invested over $200,000 in renovations completed in 2020, and you feel every dollar of it the moment you walk through that warm wood front door.
What Makes This Home Special
The curb appeal sets the tone immediately. Most 1967 split-entries look their age. This one looks like it was designed yesterday. The fibre cement board exterior in deep slate blue, the warm cedar front door with its vertical glass insets, the oversized picture windows that glow at dusk — and then the garden. Multiple Japanese maples in full burgundy bloom, rivers of orange and pink tulips, hyacinths, ornamental grasses, river rock beds, and a curved stone path leading to the front door. This is a garden that’s been tended with genuine care over years. It doesn’t photograph like a listing. It photographs like a home.
The renovation is thorough and real. A lot of “renovated” homes in Ranch Park have had a coat of paint and new light fixtures called a day. Not this one. The 2020 renovation was complete — and it shows in every detail. The kitchen features white shaker cabinetry going to the ceiling, a stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a granite-topped island with bar seating, and recessed lighting that makes the whole space feel bright and modern without losing the warmth of the original hardwood floors running underneath.
Crown moulding runs throughout the main level. The dining room flows openly into the kitchen, and French doors connect it directly to the covered deck — so from the kitchen island, you’re looking straight through to the outdoor living space and the treetops beyond.
The living room at 17’3″ x 12’10” is genuinely spacious for a split-entry of this era. The original stone-surround wood-burning fireplace anchors it perfectly. Below, a gas fireplace in the rec room means two completely different moods for two completely different floors — crackling wood upstairs on a winter evening, easy gas below on a Sunday morning.
The Deck Is a Full Outdoor Room — and It’s Exceptional
At 40’8″ x 11’11”, this is nearly 490 square feet of covered outdoor living. Cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling. Moroccan-style pendant lighting. Privacy lattice screens on two sides. A full gas BBQ station. Wicker sectional, papasan chair, coffee table, area rug. This isn’t a deck with some patio furniture on it. This is a room — with a roof, a mood, and a reason to stay outside until midnight.
Below the main deck, a second covered patio runs the same full width of the home. Two levels of outdoor space, both usable, both connected by steps to the landscaped garden below.
The Garden Is Its Own Story
The 9,100 sq ft lot — 70 feet wide, 130 feet deep — has been landscaped front and back with real intentionality. Terraced stone retaining walls. A rock garden stepping down from the lower patio. River rock beds. Mature trees that frame the property without closing it in. This is the kind of outdoor space that only comes with a home that’s been genuinely cared for.
The Layout Works Hard for a Growing Family
The main floor carries 1,266 sq ft: a primary bedroom (13′ x 11’8″) with a 4-piece ensuite and direct deck access, two additional bedrooms, and a 2-piece guest bath. The lower level adds 811 sq ft: a private 4th bedroom (12’5″ x 12’5″), a rec room (15’11” x 11’10”) that’s the perfect kids’ hangout or media room, a mudroom with laundry opening directly to the double garage, and a workshop. Six parking spots total. This house handles a full house — guests, in-laws, hockey gear — without breaking a sweat.

Market context: The only comparable Ranch Park sale in the past six months was 2761 Pilot Drive — a renovated 2,622 sq ft rancher that sold at $1,500,000 in October 2025 after 21 days on market, on a 7,260 sq ft lot. Active competition in the neighbourhood currently sits between $1,549,000 and $1,649,800. None of those homes combines the lot size, renovation quality, outdoor living, and views of 2983 Surf Crescent.
Why Ranch Park, and Why This Street
Ranch Park is one of Coquitlam’s original family neighbourhoods — established in the late 1960s on the hillside east of Como Lake, and still one of the best-kept secrets in Metro Vancouver real estate. The streets wind uphill, the lots are generous, and the homes have a character that newer subdivisions simply can’t replicate.
Surf Crescent sits near the top of the neighbourhood’s elevation. The land drops away to the south and west, and the views open up across the Fraser Valley all the way to Mount Baker and the Golden Ears range. On a clear day, Baker’s snowcap is unmistakable on the southern horizon. These aren’t peek-a-boo views through a gap in the trees. They’re the real thing, earned by elevation, and they shift beautifully with the seasons.
And the schools: Ranch Park Elementary is a 4-minute walk from the front door. Dr. Charles Best Secondary — one of Coquitlam’s most sought-after high schools, with French Immersion and a strong AP program — is a 10-minute walk or a 3-minute drive. For families who care about school catchment (and in Ranch Park, they do), this address doesn’t get better.
My Personal Take
I’ll be honest: I’ve had a soft spot for this street since I was a kid growing up in Ranch Park. These are the houses I rode past, the lots I knew, the neighbourhood that shaped what I think a community should feel like — where kids played outside, neighbours knew each other’s names, and a summer evening on the deck actually meant something. It’s also why we organize the Ranch Park Block Party every year — because this community deserves to be celebrated, not just sold.
This home is going to be an incredible place for the right young family. The deck is made for housewarming parties. The rec room is made for sleepovers. The garden is made for Sunday mornings with a coffee and nowhere to be. And with over $200K in renovations already done, the new owners skip the hard part and get straight to living.
I’m genuinely excited about the next chapter for this home. And yeah — I’ll be at the housewarming party.
