Alex Edler ready to cut ties with Vancouver: His eight million dollar home up for sale
Edler's former home in Kitsilano has hit the market for a hefty $8,490,000. The property, which boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 3,791 square feet, was designed by Hodgson Design and was built in 1912. It is over a century old.
A land title search confirms Edler's ownership, although Oakwyn Realty's Matt Pozer confirmed to Daily Hive that Edler no longer resides there. The home is listed for nearly double its assessed value of $4,486,000.
The listing highlights the property's Scandinavian-inspired design, a subtle nod to Edler's Swedish roots. The minimalist aesthetic is paired with unique features like a trampoline in the front yard. Photos reveal a beautifully staged interior, described as «Scandinavian meets character,» showcasing the home's charm. It underwent a "top-to-bottom renovation" with no expense spared, offering three levels of living space and a rooftop deck.
Interestingly, the home is just a three-minute walk from another former Canuck, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who listed his property for $6.8 million last year. While Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes is closing in, Edler still holds the franchise records for most assists, goals, points, and games played by a defenceman.
Though Edler left the Canucks some time ago, he recently signed a one-day contract to retire with the team officially. The belief is that after the Canucks' legend goes through his official retirement, he'll be headed back to his native Sweden.
As Edler retires, should the Canucks consider making an additional gesture? Should Edler be inducted into the team's ring of honour?
