Description

Welcome to VINTAGE EASTSIDE, where this bright, ground-level 2bed + 2bath home lives more like a townhouse than a condo with its own private street-level patio entrance that makes everyday life (and big grocery runs) effortless. Inside, is an open-concept living, dining and kitchen area built for entertaining, a cozy natural-gas fireplace (gas is covered by the strata fee), and a flex nook that doubles as storage. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and ensuite, with a second bedroom & full bath alongside. Fully rainscreened and set well back from 16th, the home is quiet and easy to keep comfortable year-round. Comes with underground parking, a shared EV charger, bike room and elevator. Pets welcome; the strata is proactive & well-funded. Steps to Main Street and Fraser favourites - Savio Volpe, Bells & Whistles, Earnest Ice Cream-1 block to transit & a direct bus downtown, in a safe, friendly neighbourhood. 3rd photo virtually staged. Move-in ready. Open House Sunday July 12th from 2-4 pm. (id:63159)

Amenities

7/9 categories nearby

Transit

33

5 stop(s) within 800m

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
