Imo the single garage won’t be a detriment to the sale

It's weird - BC Assessment indicates it's a standard 33x122 lot, which would be impossible to build a laneway with 2-car garage. But the lot looks wider than 33 (just look at an aerial view via Google maps), and pictures show the extra side yard with the hockey net.
I agree it's a beautiful house, but is there a market for a $3M+ designer home in that neighbourhood?
This leads me to my next point - recently there have been a few posts about custom builds. It's important to build a house that shares characteristics with the other houses in your neighbourhood, or else you may have trouble selling it in the future. For example, most new houses in Vancouver West have 10' ceilings (which obviously increases your $/sq ft costs). If you're building there, you better have 10' ceilings too! You can't cheap out and build a crappy house in an expensive neighbourhood, nor do you build a palace in a crappy neighbourhood.
