Description
For the first time in nearly sixty years, this address is coming to market. Built in 1966, this home has never once been listed for sale. The same family has lived here since the day it was built, and it shows in every detail. The original owner built this home to last, custom crafting every cabinet by hand: knotty pine in the kitchen, rich mahogany throughout the rest of the home. The stairs are solid fir. A wood stove warms the lower level family room, kept burning through decades of winters, and a bright sunroom off the kitchen adds even more everyday living space. Out back is where this property truly sets itself apart. A detached, fully wired and heated workshop with its own garage bay gives you 811 square feet for projects, storage, or a shop of your own. A private gazebo and a greenhouse round out a backyard built for gardening, hobbies, and quiet evenings outside. Set on a lot just under 0.3 acres, this home has been the backdrop for a lifetime of memories: birthdays, first bikes, and childhoods spent outside. With 1,900 square feet of finished living space across the main and lower floors, plus another 460 square feet unfinished and ready for your ideas, there is room here to grow into. Homes built with this much care, and owned with this much pride, rarely come up for sale. This is a rare chance to own a piece of real craftsmanship and real history in one property. Schedule your private showing today. This one will not last. (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.
