Highest and Lowest Priced Homes in West Vancouver – Aug 24, 2007

There is quite a range between the highest and lowest priced homes in West Vancouver. Excluding a manufactured home at 441 Raindance Crescent for sale at $ 75,000 and a cabin on Hollyburn Mountain at Lot 5 for only $ 249,000 there is a nice home at 6472 Marine Drive for only $ 849,000 listed by Anne Leblanc of Sotheby’s.

At the other end of the spectrum, Harvey Kardos of Prudential Sussex Realty has listed a home at 3040 Proctor Avenue for $ 15,500,000. There is no picture available, but I don’t think that is because it is a fixer-upper.

As there is no picture of the highest price home I will give you a sneak peak at the second highest priced home at 2770 Bellevue Ave, West Vancouver listed by Malcolm Hasman for $ 14,800,000. I wonder who left their car in the driveway with the lights on?
