Escape to the sunny side of Shawnigan Lake’s West Arm with this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage. Perfectly positioned for summer memories, this property offers a blend of vintage character and charm. The gently sloping 0.24 acre lot creates an ideal, accessible landscape for all ages, featuring a level lawn that transitions seamlessly to the waters edge. Inside, you’ll find an airy, light-filled layout defined by vaulted ceilings and classic cottage appeal. Step out onto the covered porch to take in the stunning lake views, or make your way down to your dock for a day on the water. The lower level offers excellent potential for future expansion with convenient walk-out access, or serves as the perfect workshop and storage hub for all your lake toys. Located on a quiet no-through road just a short drive from all amenities and an easy commute to Victoria, this is your chance to secure your slice of paradise just in time for summer. (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.

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.
