Description

Nature at Your Doorstep, History in Your Home. This unique home has a wide-open main floor with beautiful artisan stone floors and reclaimed wood beams salvaged from the original cow barn that once stood on the site. The kitchen is large, with an island of drawers and a walk-in pantry with a dedicated prep sink. All 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are conveniently tucked away on the upper floor, which is great for keeping families together. The primary bedroom is fantastic, featuring a beautiful vista with morning sun, a walk-in closet, a Juliette balcony and a spacious ensuite bathroom. The lower level is unfinished space that offers an additional ~816 sq ft of opportunity for building your own 'Big Beautiful Basement'! This newly insulated blank canvas with high ceiling (approx 8'6"")is ready for your finishing vision offering a fantastic opportunity for creativity and equity. In the last 3 years, the seller installed a high-efficiency furnace, water tank & completed foundation perimeter drainage. Two doorways lead to a large deck, featuring both covered and uncovered sections for sun or shade year-round. New deck posts, beams, roof, decking and railing were recently installed. There is still some work to do here and there, making this a good property to grow and invest into slowly. On this quiet street, neighbours are friends and together they have achieved FireSmart community status. Find yourself here, be a part of the neighbourhood, the community, the forest. (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.
