A Home with History. And a Few Residents Who Never Left.

Out of Town North Vancouver V6M 6L6

Tucked away amongst towering evergreens and brilliant autumn foliage, 1313 Ravenwood Lane is a remarkable North Shore residence with timeless architecture, generous living spaces and a rather unusual history. From the moment you arrive, the dramatic timber detailing, natural stonework and welcoming entrance make a lasting impression. The occasional flickering light and unexplained footsteps simply add to the character. Inside, the spacious living room features a handsome fireplace, soaring ceilings, large picture windows and beautiful views of the surrounding forest. Antique portraits adorn the walls, although visitors have occasionally remarked that their subjects seem to follow them around the room. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining, with generous space for family gatherings and dinner parties. The table comfortably seats eight, although an extra place setting has been known to appear without explanation. The beautifully appointed kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a generous island and plenty of workspace. A resident black cat frequently makes an appearance, but has yet to contribute to the household expenses. Upstairs, the primary bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet, private ensuite and balcony overlooking the trees. Two additional bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation for family and guests. Previous visitors have reported sleeping exceptionally well, apart from the occasional midnight visitor. A dedicated study provides an inspiring space to work from home, while the charming loft offers additional flexibility as a reading room, creative space or quiet retreat. Some say it is particularly quiet. Others disagree. The lower level features a comfortable media room, perfect for movie nights, together with additional storage and laundry facilities. A wine cellar provides ideal conditions for your favourite vintages, although certain bottles appear to have aged rather mysteriously. Outside, expansive patios and covered decks extend the living space into the beautifully landscaped gardens. An inviting swimming pool, cascading waterfall and outdoor firepit create an exceptional setting for entertaining, while the local crows have taken a particular interest in the property. With its generous floor plan, distinctive architectural details and established North Vancouver setting, Ravenwood Lane presents a rare opportunity to own a home with genuine character.
