Description

Fairfield friendly! Steps to excellent schools, shops & the ocean, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath duplex is perfectly located in this fabulous neighbourhood. Boasting a gorgeous, fully fenced corner yard the character home has oak floors & coved ceilings, a testament to the 1950's. There is an attractive stone fireplace, mahogany mantel and electric insert in the living room. The separate kitchen is pre-wired for a wall oven and enjoys views over the backyard. The flexible layout offers 2 ample bedrooms and a bathroom on this level. The lower level can easily be converted to a 1-bed suite and it is plumbed for a kitchen. The huge laundry room has newer appliances and tons of storage. Updated lighting throughout the house plus an alarm system. Perimeter drains and the roof were replaced approximately 15 years ago. A unique opportunity to enter a coveted neighbourhood.  Take advantage of the government grant programs for suite conversions and heat pump upgrades! (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.
