Description

Located on a corner lot in central Ambleside, this brand-new residence features 5 BD, 5 BA, and a licensed 1 BD legal suite with southerly ocean views. Built to strict Step 5 Energy Code, triple-glazed Euroline windows and acoustic interior insulation create an exceptionally quiet, peaceful indoor sanctuary.

The upper living space offers a Miele chef´s kitchen, wine bar, gas FP, auto shades, and wide Euroline sliders opening to sunlit decks with outdoor speakers and gas BBQ line for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The master retreat feels like a private spa with steam shower, jet tub, heated towel rack, and radiant bath floors. Multi-zone heat pump AC, HRV air purification, backup generator, solar prep, auto water shut-off, and a 1.5-car garage plus 2nd stall (both with EV chargers) provide complete comfort.

Transit

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.
