There’s a new owner for one of Vancouver's heritage homes.

The 728 Jackson Street residence was sold this month after spending 10 days on the market.

The more than one-century old Strathcona neighbourhood property went for $1,479,000.

That’s exactly its B.C. Assessment valuation for 2022.

The two-storey home is in the B category of the Vancouver Heritage Register.

As the register explains, a home in this category represents “good examples of a particular style or type, either individually or collectively”.

In addition, properties in this class may have “some documented historical or cultural significance in a neighbourhood”.

An account online by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation (VHF) notes that the single-family house at 728 Jackson Street was constructed before 1895.

The home’s first occupant was Arthur Hortin, an engineer with the CPR Hotel or Hotel Vancouver.

“The house is a fine example of an early ‘Pioneer’ frame house, complete with beveled siding and decorative shingles for the apex of the front gable,” the foundation notes.

The account recalls that the house was “painted in an authentic True Colours paint scheme with assistance from a Heritage Conservation Grant in 2019”.

On another online page, the VHF explains that the so-called “True Colours palette contains 35 original colours that were used on houses and buildings in Vancouver from the 1880s to the 1920s”.

These colours were “often chosen by the first owners and builders”.

“Like many of the buildings in Strathcona, the house sits partially in the City lane indicating that the street configuration was over laid onto the existing structures in the area,” the foundation also explains in its description of 728 Jackson Avenue.

The Vancouver real estate listed as one of the city's "oldest" houses features two bedrooms and two baths.

The listing by the seller’s agent Razor Projects related that the “character and history filled home” was “tastefully restored around 2004”.
