The biggest hurdle to clear before returning to the UAE is the sale of our house. We have listed it with Property Guys and subsequently used their photos in several other listing sites including SaltScapes Magazine, The Coast Magazine, and Canada Home Sales. Below is the write up for the house and the photos.

This well perserved historical home built in the early 1920s, is nestled on a quiet street surrounded by beautiful mature maple trees, oak trees, and perennial gardens. Much of the interior has been kept to its original decore including the Douglas Fir and Pine wooden floors, fireplace mantle, exposed beams, and sturdy stair banister. Keeping its original vigor, there have been several upgrades over the past two years. Completely rebuilt porch with bamboo flooring, pine walls and both picture and single hung windows. New chimney from the roof line up, new steel chimney liner, Regency wood insert (WETT Certified installed), cellulose wall insulation, new windows, and freshly painted throughout. Main level has Douglas Fir flooring in the living and dining rooms and original oak mantle with porcelain tile. Kitchen has built-in dishwasher, main floor laundry room, and back porch leading to deck overlooking private backyard. Upper level has pine flooring, two bedrooms, cathedral ceilings, remote fan, skylights, and exposed beams. Bathroom has claw foot tub. Master bedroom has sitting area, great for relaxing and reading. Lower level has walk-out basement (which is dry) with workshop area (has a large built-in workbench), furnace area, and lots of storage space. This home has had an ener-guide rating test completed. Heating costs are below average. The house is extremely well-lit with sunlight from all sides over the course of the day. The 15′ x 20′ backdeck receives the sun most of the day until sunset. Easy access to highway 111 and 118. Only minutes from the MacDonald bridge and walking distance to ferry terminal and bus terminal.
