Description

Wonderful character home with a spectacular rooftop deck, a backyard oasis, & standout curb appeal. Steps to Five Corners & a five-minute walk to White Rock beach. The crown jewel up top: panoramic ocean views and unlimited potential to shape into your own sky-high retreat. A wrap-around second-floor deck off the family room and primary bedroom catches morning sun & evening sunsets, with ocean views carrying through the upper storey. Out back, a south-facing sanctuary unfolds - mature gardens, a gazebo, & a koi pond. Equally suited to quiet mornings and lively gatherings. Inside, a beautifully renovated upper floor, generous windows, and skylights pour natural light through every room. 4 bedrooms plus den, 3 full baths, and a location that walks to schools, shops, dining & the waterfront.

Transit

5 stop(s) within 800m

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.
