Prime corner lot at E 38th Ave and Commercial Street, in one of the most desirable neighbourhoods on Vancouver's East Side. This flat 35' x 103.6' corner parcel offers back lane access and faces a park — a rare combination for a development site in this location. The existing home needs work but is currently livable, giving you flexibility to hold, renovate, or move straight into your build. Steps to transit, shops, and everyday amenities — close to everything this sought-after pocket has to offer. A great investment opportunity and a near-perfect lot to develop. Corner lots with lane access and park frontage like this don't come up often — call today for more details.
