3308 Deering Island Place

The Residence

A rarely available island waterfront — substantially rebuilt in 2023 to a standard that rewards a second look.

Deering Island is one of Vancouver's rarest addresses — a private enclave of riverfront homes off Southlands, reached by its own bridge. Number 3308 was substantially rebuilt in 2023 with exceptional craftsmanship: metal roof and framing, Euroline windows, motorized window coverings, and distinctive details that give every room its own character.

Elegant living and dining spaces flow to a gourmet kitchen and beautifully appointed entertaining areas — an indoor golf simulator off the living room, a putting green at the river's edge, and a legal suite with its own entrance, ideal for extended family, nanny accommodation or a mortgage helper.

The Living Room

Interiors curated like a private gallery

A sunken seating floor a step below the parquet, a marble-mantel fireplace and a piano at one end, a life-size driftwood horse at the other — and the golf simulator waiting through the door beyond.

The Kitchen

Cooking with the river for company

Honeycomb pendants over honed stone, a separate wok kitchen behind for the heavy cooking, and a breakfast nook set into the water-facing glass.

The Primary & The Rooftop

A suite that ends in open sky

The river-facing primary anchors the upper floor; above it, the ultimate private retreat — ensuite, wet bar, and a terrace with unobstructed Fraser River and Gulf Island views.
