Description

From the moment you turn onto the crushed driveway, this property makes an impression. Over 125 trees and shrubs frame the approach to the 2015 built single level home on 1.77 acres, and the care put into the exterior carries straight through to the interior. Inside, radiant in-floor heating and an open concept layout connect the living room, dining area, and kitchen without interruption. Large windows pull in natural light throughout, complementing the thoughtful finishes from the lighting to the window coverings. This property was designed with self-sufficiency in mind. A year round greenhouse, a rainwater collection system, and a root cellar make this a genuinely functional homestead. Multiple sea cans have been outfitted with shelving and serve as workshops and additional storage. The kitchen features modern appliances and a spacious island, ideal for everyday cooking and entertaining alike. The primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet. A detached guest cabin with bathroom offers privacy for visiting friends and family. Glaser Creek runs through the land year round, and the warm pioneer character woven into every corner of this property is something that truly has to be experienced in person. Properties like this don't come along often in the Creston Valley. Call your Realtor to book a showing! (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.
