Description
Experience the perfect blend of Bowen Island cabin vibe and Vancouver urban style in this renovated Tunstall Bay family home. There´s an irresistible warmth & charm that comes from Western Red Cedar walls and ceilings combined with a classic wood-burning stove.

A magnificent sunset-facing picture window floods the space with natural light and frames views of the ocean, forest and Mt.Gardner. On the lower level you´ll find two cozy bedrooms plus the primary suite with its own deck and outdoor shower, and a stylishly renovated ensuite. The spacious family room looks out to the front yard with its grassy lawns, tall fir trees, and seasonal creek complete with picturesque foot bridge.

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.
