What sold on Rousseau Street was ground, not a house. 456 came to market tied to 458 next door and had to be bought with it — two of five contiguous lots that together made twenty-eight thousand one hundred and eighty-three square feet. New Westminster's community plan pointed the block towards townhouse and rowhouse ground at the time, the zoning stood at CS-1, and the price was set against the land rather than the building standing on it. The lot is five thousand one hundred and eight square feet, forty-five feet across the front and a hundred and thirty-three deep, freehold and not strata, fenced, with a double garage reached from the rear or the side, open standing for three more cars, and room for an RV. The house on it dates from 1936: wood frame under stucco on a concrete perimeter, an asphalt roof, forced air heat, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven square feet over two storeys and a full basement, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was not what the buyer came for. Braid Station is a walk away and Highway 1 is a few blocks off. Completed February 2021.
