ABOUT THIS HOME
A handsome craftsman-style heritage home (ca. 1906) on one of the few remaining in-town acreages in Armstrong, BC. Two titles offer maximum flexibility -- sell one title as a mortgage-helper, build a carriage house for parents in back, or simply savour the generous greenspace!

Enjoy established gardens with intelligent plantings, plus producing fruit & nut trees. Harvest cherries, plums, and walnuts from your backyard! The house has ample room for a home office or home-based business.

LOCATION
This home is situated on a hill in a quiet residential area overlooking the small & friendly town of Armstrong, just 15 minutes from the city of Vernon. Nestled in the north end of the Okanagan Valley, on the cusp of the Shuswap, the little town of Armstrong (pop. 4300) is situated midway between Vancouver and Calgary, and is only a 45-minute drive to the Kelowna International Airport.

Enjoy city amenities (excellent water, curbside garbage & recycling pickup, schools, recreation centres & medical facilities) in a rural setting. Nature is literally at your door, with deer, pheasants, quail, Stellar's jays, woodpeckers, and a host of smaller bird species inhabiting the yard.

Excellent hiking and paddling opportunities abound in this region. For downhill & cross-country ski enthusiasts, Silver Star Mountain & Sovereign Lake are only 40-minutes away, while Larch Hills ski trails are 40 km to the north. Golfers will appreciate the fact that the Royal York Golf Club is a pleasant 2-block walk from your front door. Other established and renowned golf courses are within convenient driving distance. Food & wine lovers will savour the abundance of wines, ales, spirits, cheeses, artisanal foods & organic produce available in the region.
