Kelowna, nestled on the shores of Okanagan Lake in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, is a thriving city that combines the best of nature and culture in British Columbia. Surrounded by gorgeous waterways, sprawling vineyards, and rugged mountains, it’s a year-round paradise for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy boating, fishing, skiing, and hiking. 

Kelowna’s bustling downtown is a culinary and wine lover’s haven, attracting home buyers worldwide, thanks to its local Okanagan Valley wine offerings and charming neighborhoods with intriguing real estate options. 

1988 Bowes Street, better known as the Bennett Estate (and formerly known as Brookside Manor), is a Tudor Revival-style home just minutes from downtown Kelowna. This gorgeous property, completed in 1914 and designated as a Heritage home, has just arrived on the market. The residence has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a sprawling 4,900 square feet of interior space. 

Bennett Estate seamlessly blends historical elegance with modern amenities. Upon entering, visitors will be struck by the ornate and historic features that remain. Cherry-finished woodwork, a marble entry, ornate chandeliers, and remnants of original wallpaper contribute to the stunning look that sets this home apart. But the brick fireplace on the main level serves as a particularly enticing highlight. 

The two-story foyer features a grand staircase leading upstairs, while wood floors throughout create a sense of warmth. Ample windows further add to the bright and welcoming ambiance.

The spacious kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and offers custom cabinetry with plenty of storage and counter space. The expansive grand dining area, next to the kitchen, provides room for hosting a large gathering as well as a more intimate breakfast nook. 

Upstairs, you’ll find an additional staircase that leads to the kitchen and four of the home’s beautiful bedrooms. The cozy primary suite features a fireplace, windows overlooking the property, and an en-suite bathroom. 

The spacious basement offers the flexibility for customization. Residents can possibly transform it into a media room, game lounge, or exercise center. Also, a cellar space can accommodate a sizable wine collection, which is particularly beneficial given its location in the Okanagan Valley. And the home’s backyard has mature landscaping and borders a spacious community lawn.

Bennett Estate presents a unique opportunity for buyers hoping to move to Kelowna. The stunning residence’s dream location in the heart of the city and its unmatched elegance make it a one-of-a-kind find. It is currently listed for C$2,998,000.
