Description

This house has the best view in town, and a yard you can actually use! Welcome to 1457 Albatross, where your entertaining will always have a backdrop that makes everyone stop and stare. Whether you're entertaining on your composite deck, taking in the view with the kids playing in the fenced in yard or enjoying a quiet night under the stars in the hot tub. Or maybe you're hosting new years in your open and airy entertaining area with snow falling in the background with the mountains looking magical. This home has had a ton of updates over the years and once you walk in you will appreciate it all! The secondary garage is ideal if you have any toys, and a massive driveway means you have room for everything. With a separate lower entrance there is potential for an in-law suite! (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.

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.
