Description
Live where summer feels like a vacation! Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Lake Cowichan, this spacious 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is just a short walk from schools, shops, trails and the lake. The bright, welcoming main level features hardwood floors, a generous living and dining area, a functional kitchen, two bedrooms, with the option to convert back to three, a full bathroom, laundry and convenient garage access. Downstairs offers exceptional flexibility with three additional bedrooms, a large rec room and a separate entrance. It’s an ideal setup for teens, extended family or guests, with potential to add a suite for rental income or multi-generational living (buyer to verify with the Town of Lake Cowichan). Outside, the sunny, fully fenced 0.17-acre yard offers plenty of room for kids, pets and gardening, with low-maintenance landscaping that leaves more time to enjoy the lake. The impressive 436 sq ft garage, with ceilings nearly 12 feet high, provides excellent space for a workshop, storage and all your summer toys. Lake Cowichan is known for its beautiful, clean lake and relaxed community atmosphere. Spend sunny days swimming, boating, paddling or at the beach, float the Cowichan River, explore nearby trails, and enjoy local events and summer concerts. With plenty of space, flexible living options and year-round recreation just minutes away, this is a home where lake living and summertime fun come naturally. (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.
