Sold in Under 10 Days: Vandwell Homes’ Side-by-Side Duplexes at 812 E 26th Ave in Vancouver

There are projects where the sale is the story. Then there are projects where the sale confirms something we already felt while standing inside the homes.

At 812 E 26th Avenue in Vancouver, the details mattered.

Vandwell Homes’ latest Fraserhood development brought two side-by-side duplexes to market with the kind of floor plans that made sense before anyone needed to explain them. Both residences offered approximately 2,078 sq. ft. across three levels, with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, yet the layout was designed to feel closer to a traditional house than a typical duplex. Full Public #2-812 E 26th Ave Full Public – #1 – 812 E 26th A…

In less than 10 days on the market in total, both homes had found their buyers.

#1 sold for $2,490,000.
#2 sold for $2,500,000.

For us, those results were not simply about speed. They were about finding buyers who recognized what Vandwell had put into the homes.

1382 E 17th Ave: A Two-Level Cedar Cottage Duplex That Lives Like a House

Some homes stand out because of a dramatic feature. Others simply get the fundamentals right.

At 1382 E 17th Avenue in Vancouver’s Cedar Cottage neighbourhood, the appeal starts with a floor plan that feels refreshingly straightforward: two levels, three bedrooms together upstairs, generous living space on the main, a detached garage, and considerably more storage than you might expect from a duplex.

Currently offered at $1,399,000, this front half-duplex provides 1,266 sq. ft., three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with a layout designed around everyday function. Full Public

A Duplex With a Traditional Two-Level Layout

One of the first things we noticed about this home is what it doesn’t ask you to compromise on.

Rather than spreading the bedrooms across multiple floors, all three are located together on the upper level. The primary bedroom includes its own ensuite, while two additional bedrooms and full-size LG laundry complete the floor. Full Public

That leaves the entire main floor for living.

The Final Residence at MIRA: 1,732 Sq.Ft. of Design-Led Living at Trout Lake

When buyers move beyond simply counting bedrooms, the conversation around value changes.

The details start to matter more. How does the home feel when you walk through it? Is there enough separation between living and sleeping spaces? Does the kitchen feel considered rather than simply expensive? And will the design still feel relevant years from now?

That is where the final remaining residence at MIRA at Trout Lake stands apart.

Built by Cheng Properties, this quiet back duplex offers 1,732 sq.ft. across three levels, four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with private outdoor space and a location directly connected to one of East Vancouver’s most established recreational pockets.

Priced at $1,699,000, it works out to approximately $981 per sq.ft. before assigning any additional value to the outdoor space or parking.

For buyers comparing newer duplex and multiplex homes around East Vancouver, that is a useful number to put in context, particularly given the level of interior finishing.
