For sale: $4M dump

Multimillion-dollar homes don't raise eyebrows anymore in Vancouver, but a new listing in Kitsilano is a real dump for $4 million. Literally.

The former home at 2573 West 3rd Ave. went up in flames in December and is now a pile of rubble and debris.

The property is billed as a "rare development opportunity" for $3.99 million. The land is zoned for up to four townhouses.

The buyer will be responsible for removing the debris. 

Neighbours are hoping it sells and the eyesore will be removed.

The city posted a legal notice last week giving the owner 10 days to clear the mess, but the listing realtor says the owner is bankrupt, meaning the city will either clean up and bill the owner, or the estimated $50,000 cost will be passed on to the purchaser.

Neighbours say they don't care who pays, they just want the mess gone.

"The city should just go and clean it up and get the people that are selling it to pay for this rubble. It's been there since Dec. 22," Sophie Dikeakos told CTV.
