This large beachfront home is steps to city and ideal location for residence, vacation home or Bed and Breakfast. This home has been nicely updated with all modern features but keeps with its heritage charm including high ceilings and original hardwood. Situated on a large sandy beachfront lot with private boat moorage dock. Oversized triple garage and extra parking with gated entrance make this an excellent group purchase as well.
Constructed in 1928, the McDougall House is of architectural significance as a fine example of the traditional residential styles embraced by successful businessmen in the heyday of the fruit industry.
The House is a large two and one-half storey British Arts and Crafts style-residence, distinguished by its picturesque silhouette and broad cross-gabled roof. It is situated on a beachfront lot at the end of a cul-de-sac at the intersection of McTavish Avenue, McDougall Street and Lake Avenue. Set on the eastern shore of Lake Okanagan and in Kelowna's historic Abbott Street neighbourhood, it is located close to the city centre.
