Description

Chase an enchanted waterfall at the finest waterfront setting of 4.6 acres at the top of coveted Duck Bay in Vesuvius. A rare offering of a private, picturesque oceanfront estate with warm summer swimming, protected mooring buoy, amazing west facing sunshine, babbling brook and gifting gorgeous ocean to island views. The lovingly cared for 4,100 sq. ft home offers ample space for extended family and friends, convenient main floor living, vaulted cedar ceiling, hardwood flooring in primary rooms, in-floor heated bathrooms, and an efficient heat pump. A sweet two-bedroom cottage and a detached garage add to the features. The outdoor space around the home is beautifully landscaped with a zen flair and pretty ponds, shared with native westcoast forest and the coastal shoreline. Priced below current assessed value. A tranquil haven and an heirloom retreat waiting to make some special memories of a lifetime! (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.
