Description

Quiet cul-de-sac close to town, yet just minutes to Ganges, on 1.48 private acres. West Coast design shines throughout this home, offering completely one-level living in both the main home and attached studio, with oak hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a propane fireplace, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area in the 2-bed, 2-bath main home. The attached, separate studio offers its own private entrance, propane fireplace, en-suite bath, and garden patio—flexibility for in-laws, a caregiver, or guests, with potential for revenue income from one or both suites. Low-maintenance courtyard gardens with established perennials, plus a detached garage with workshop, complete this rare offering of privacy, accessibility, and income—priced under Assessed Value.

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.

Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
