One of the classic Victorians of Queens Park in New Westminster, this 
Queen Anne home was built by clothier James E. Phillips for his family in 
1892.  Constructed to the finest standards of the day, this home had many 
distinctive features incorporated into the original design...such as 
beautiful stained glass windows, a patterned brick chimney and a sweeping 
wrap around front porch.  Eleven foot ceilings produce a feeling of great 
spaciousness.  Oversized windows create a bright and natural atmosphere 
throughout the home while providing scenic views of the garden and 
Tipperary Park across the street.  Beautiful woodwork frames each window 
and doorway.  When people enter the spacious entry hallway and are 
greeted with spectacular stained glass and a breathtaking wood banister 
stairway, they know they have entered a special, unique and elegant home.

WELCOME TO THE QUEENS PARK NEIGHBOURHOOD!

With this home comes one of the finest neighbourhoods in all of Greater 
Vancouver.
 
New Westminster was one of the first communities to be settled on the 
west coast during the 1800�s.  During the 1970�s residents of the 
neighbourhood took the initiative to begin restoring homes to their 
original splendor.  What has resulted is a neighbourhood which takes 
great pride in the well preserved and maintained heritage homes, 
beautiful gardens, mature landscaping and warm friendly atmosphere which 
creates a unique bond and strength in the community spirit of people 
living in Queens Park.

Queens Avenue, immediately north of New Westminster�s City Hall, proudly 
displays New Westminster�s finest heritage homes and the most prestigious 
addresses.   A wide street, spacious green lawns, beautiful gardens and 
tall mature trees make it one of the more picturesque streets in the 
Lower Mainland.

In a world where we usually have to drive everywhere, in this location, 
you can walk to almost anywhere you need to go.   Herbert Spencer 
Elementary school is right in the neighbourhood.  Adjacent to the 
neighbourhood is Queens Park, the jewel of New Westminster�s park system.  
Complete with a children�s adventure playground, spray pool, petting zoo, 
tennis courts, rose gardens, jogging circuit, playing fields, picnic 
areas, stadium, theatre, arena and gymnasium.  Two blocks east, you will 
find the Canada Games Pool (which comes complete with one of the best 
equipped fitness facilities in all of Vancouver), the Centennial 
Community Centre and the New Westminster Curling Rink.  All offer 
excellent quality programs, staff and facilities.  Directly across the 
street from the house is Tipperary Park and Friendship Gardens, a 
peaceful, quiet and serene park, home of the New Westminster Tennis Club.

Directly west of the Queens Park neighbourhood is New Westminster�s 
uptown shopping area complete with Westminster Mall and the Royal City 
Centre Mall, theatres, the public library, Century House (a senior 
citizens recreation centre) Moody Park & Arena, the Secondary School and 
many fine restaurants.

Three blocks south of the house is Skytrain, Greater Vancouver�s rapid 
transit system, bus service is one short block away and if your work 
takes you to Vancouver, you will be pleased not to have to cross any 
bridges to get there.

Centrally located, New Westminster is within a 15 minute drive of five 
major shopping malls - Metrotown, Guildford Centre, Surrey Place, 
Coquitlam Centre and Lougheed Mall.  Half an hours drive will take you to 
downtown Vancouver, White Rock beach, Blaine, Langley, Sasamat lake, 
Belcarra Park, Seymour Mountain, Cypress Bowl or almost any location of 
any interest in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

Welcome to a great place to live, Queens Park in the Royal City!
