Description

Nestled in a peaceful Castlegar neighbourhood, this impeccably maintained, 2,132-square-foot home perfectly balances modern comfort with investment potential. The main level boasts a bright, open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas—ideal for hosting—and steps out onto a spacious deck overlooking quiet surroundings. This floor features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level significantly expands your options. With a third bedroom, second full bath, large family room, and plumbing already roughed-in for a kitchen, the walk-out basement is prime for a suite conversion to serve as a mortgage helper or an extended family space. Storage and utility are major highlights, including an attached garage with extra-high ceilings for gear, plus an abundance of additional off-street parking. Situated on a manageable 0.11-acre lot with plenty of room for gardens, this 2007-built home combines modern construction with a versatile floor plan. Whether you are seeking a turnkey family residence or a savvy rental opportunity close to local amenities, this property delivers an exceptional move-in-ready retreat in the heart of the Kootenays.

Amenities

4/9 categories nearby

Transit

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.
