Description

Prime Fraser Knight Opportunity! This massive, RT-10 zoned 33' x 144' lot features a stunning, aesthetically original mid-century home. Fully renovated in 2020, the property perfectly blends vintage charm with modern peace of mind, boasting a newer sewer line, sump pump, high-efficiency furnace, and hot water tank. The oil tank was also removed with permits just over a decade ago. Located in a highly walkable vibrant neighborhood close to shopping, dining, and rapid transit, this turnkey property is ideal to move right in, hold, or develop. (id:63159)

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.
