Description

With over 3000sf of living space, this custom built two storey Garrison Colonial style home offers a quiet location on a cul-de-sac in the heart of Cedar. Surrounded by families, in close proximity to schools, grocery store, pub, restaurant, parks and trails, and within 15 minutes of Duke Point ferry terminal, Nanaimo airport, downtown Nanaimo, and Vancouver Island University. This well maintained home offers a thoughtful yet popular plan with a main floor featuring a flowing country kitchen, large eating nook with built-in desk, and family room (with gas fireplace), formal dining room, and a parlour off the foyer. A covered patio off the nook overlooks the flat private yard; a large mudroom with doors to garage and yard are ideal for young families. A circular staircase leads to the upper level: 4 bedrooms including a primary bedroom with extensive walk-through closets to the 5 piece ensuite (with soaker tub and glass shower surround). The two main bedrooms have walk-in closets and dual access bathroom. The 4th bedroom has a built-in Murphy bed, dormer windows, and ensuite. An impressive oversized laundry room can accommodate a sewing area and includes lots of counterspace, sink, built-in ironing board, and TV. The house is set on the 1/2 acre lot to accommodate a large shop and/or carriage house. This home has many features including irrigation system, BBQ hook-up, shed, RV parking, powder room on main level, and 200 amp panel. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important (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.

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.
