If you watch any of those home improvement TV shows you know the mention of a "home theatre" is cause for delighted gasps, but the one in this Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»mansion on the market right now definitely takes the cake.
Styled like an actual movie theatre and not a "man cave" or merely a tricked out basement room, you'll find this colourful fully decorated viewing space is like a mini movie palace, complete with ornate columns on the wall, plush red velvet seats for 10 people on a raised platform, and a red curtain to cover the screen.
Even better: before you enter the home theatre room, you'll pass through the box office area that the homeowners have styled with movie posters, a popcorn cart, and even a kindly-looking older gent ready to sell you your imaginary tickets. Bonus: The movie theatre is equipped for watching features in 3D (of course!).
The , which is located at 3507 40 Street in a rural part of Ladner in Delta, is a nine-bedroom, 8532-square-foot mansion on an 18-acre "country estate" lot, and it's on the market for just under $9 million at $8,980,000. The front gates bear the name "Duck Pond Estate," and open to reveal a long entry road that leads to a circular driveway at the front of the mansion.
Other features of the house include a billiards room, outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, and a lush private garden complete with a pond and a waterfall. Not mentioned in the listing but shown in the photos of this unique property is the old-timey town storefront area outdoors that appears to be a garage.
The mansion was built in 1990, and while - Layla Yang, the controversial realtor who is featured in a new reality series about Vancouver's Asian luxury real estate market - gives a nod to its use of luxury materials, it may take a millionaire's budget to do some timely upgrades to the home's interior, as it does look rather dated.
BC Assessment puts the home's value for 2021 , which is down $10,000 from the year before.
