Filled with warmth & timeless character, this is a home that immediately feels welcoming—a place that invites you to settle in and create lasting memories. Thoughtfully maintained & tastefully updated over the years, it perfectly blends classic charm with modern comfort. Designed with families in mind, the home features four bedrooms on the upper level, along with a small office or study—ideal for working from home or a quiet reading space. The updated kitchen and bathrooms including an attractive primary ensuite, complement the home's original character. The inviting main floor begins with a gracious entry featuring a classic banister staircase. Spacious formal living & dining rooms provide excellent entertaining space, while the comfortable family room off the kitchen opens through French doors to both the covered front patio with its ocean and mountain views and the expansive rear sundeck overlooking the golf course. Efficient hot water radiant heating ensures year-round comfort, and the perimeter drains were replaced in 2019 for added peace of mind. Outside, the home's timeless curb appeal is highlighted by crisp white siding, striking black shutters, and a bold red front door. The charming symmetrical façade, mature landscaping, and large windows create an inviting first impression while providing abundant natural light throughout the home.

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.
