Description
Nestled in a prime location adjacent to Voght Park, this beautifully renovated rancher offers the perfect blend of character, quality, and convenience. Originally built in 1948, the home underwent an extensive permitted renovation in 2012 that included lifting the home and pouring a new concrete foundation, complete with a skim-coated finish. Additional upgrades included substantial improvements to the electrical and plumbing systems, insulation, windows, roofing, and interior finishes, creating a home that combines classic charm with modern comfort and reliability. A newer furnace installed in 2021 further enhances the home's efficiency and peace of mind. Offering 2 bedrooms plus a den, this thoughtfully designed home features a bright and functional layout with hardwood and tile flooring throughout, quality cabinetry, granite countertops, and tasteful finishes. Situated on a flat 5,850 sq. ft. lot with alley access, the property also boasts a spacious 430 sq. ft. attached garage and professionally landscaped grounds. Enjoy a lifestyle centered around the outdoors with direct access to Voght Park, walking trails, green space, and the nearby dog park. This is a rare opportunity to own a substantially updated home in one of Merritt's most desirable park-side locations. LISTED BY REMAX LEGACY. Call for a private viewing today. (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.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
