42703 Janzen Road

The property

A flat, usable acre on one of Greendale’s quietest roads

This 2,886 sq ft rancher sits on 1.07 flat acres with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen built around an AGA cooker. A 550 sq ft Lumon sunroom runs across the back of the house, there is a double garage, and the backyard is huge.

The shop is why a lot of buyers will come out: 30 by 40 with 12 ft bay doors and openers, natural gas heat, 100 amp service and its own two piece bathroom. Behind it, a 20 by 40 dry storage enclosure has service hookups for your RV, and there is parking for 12 vehicles and more.

I grew up on Janzen Road. I lived on this street for twelve years, and it is still one of the most peaceful and versatile spots in all of Chilliwack.

Living spaces

One easy loop through the main floor

Formal living and dining sit at the front of the house. At the back, a vaulted family room opens straight into the sunroom, and a separate hall keeps the bedroom wing apart from the entertaining side. There are two gas fireplaces, one in each living area.

• Gas fireplace in the living room
• Second gas fireplace in the family room
• Vaulted ceiling over the family room
• Separate formal dining area
• Family room opens to the sunroom
• Bedroom wing off its own hall

The kitchen

The AGA, and how it works

The AGA is the piece most buyers remember. It runs on natural gas and stays on, so the cast iron holds heat around the clock and every oven is ready whenever you are. That stored heat also warms the kitchen and the rooms around it without the furnace running.

There is no preheating and no dial to set. Each of the four ovens sits at its own temperature all day, and you cook by choosing the oven. It is set into a full run of oak cabinetry with a black counter, a bay window breakfast nook, a wall oven and an 18 inch dishwasher alongside.

Bedrooms and baths

Three on the main, and a loft nobody expects

Three bedrooms are on the main floor, including the primary with French doors straight out to the back lawn and a walk in closet. Both bathrooms are on the main: a three piece ensuite and a four piece main bath. Above the garage is a 16’8″ by 20’5″ loft bedroom with its own bank of windows and a full wall of built in cabinetry.

• Primary with French doors to the lawn
• Walk in closet, 6’3″ × 6’0″
• Three piece ensuite and four piece main bath
• Loft bedroom above the garage
• Main floor laundry with sink and storage

The sunroom

A covered deck in summer, a warm room all year

The Lumon sunroom was added in 2021. It runs 37’11” across the back of the house with glass on three sides, and the panels slide fully open, so it works as a covered deck in summer and a warm room the rest of the year. There is an outdoor fireplace at the house end and a clear view down the lawn to the mountains.

• About 550 sq ft, added 2021
• Sliding glass panels on three sides
• Outdoor fireplace at the house end
• Steps down to open lawn
• Mountain views to the rear

The shop and the grounds

Space for the trucks, the toys and the RV

The shop measures 39’7″ by 29’3″ inside with two 12 ft doors on openers, a natural gas furnace, 100 amp service and a two piece bathroom. A 20 by 40 dry storage enclosure behind it has RV service hookups.

The asphalt driveway and gravel yard park 12 vehicles and more. Mature hedging wraps every side, there is irrigation for the blueberry beds, and the well access sits at the front by the chestnut tree.

• Shop 39’7″ × 29’3″ inside
• 12 ft doors with openers
• Natural gas furnace, 100 amp service
• Two piece bathroom in the shop
• 20 × 40 dry storage with RV hookups
