The big sell: Situated just off Fraser, this 1957 rancher sold for $9,000 over the asking price, perhaps in part because of a rare commodity: a basement that is larger than the main floor and which contains an updated three-bedroom suite, a feature that provides an opportunity for the owner to significantly reduce mortgage payments. The home is on a 33-by-122-square-foot lot. The main level has two bedrooms, a spacious living room and electric fireplace, an open kitchen with granite countertops and separate eating area, and hardwood floors throughout. A resurfaced sun-drenched southfacing deck overlooks the rear garden. This is a quiet stretch of Fraser Street, opposite Mountain View Cemetery, and close to a host of shops just south of 41st Avenue.
