Description

Looking for a character-filled home with the flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or additional income? This exceptional Lake Avenue property offers charm, space, and versatility just steps from Okanagan Lake in one of Kelowna’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Thoughtfully maintained and upgraded yet full of original character, this home is not on the Heritage Registry, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a character property without heritage designation restrictions. Inside, you’ll find hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and updates that complement the home’s timeless appeal. The main floor offers a flexible layout with a beautifully designed laundry and pantry area that was originally the primary bedroom and could easily be converted back into a main-floor suite. Upstairs features three bright bedrooms, while the lower level offers another a 1-bedroom in-law suite. The detached 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom carriage home, built in 2015, is the perfect addition for multigenerational living, rental income, guests, or a home-based business. Surrounded by mature landscaping and inviting outdoor spaces, this property offers a private retreat just moments from beaches, parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and Pandosy Village. Character, flexibility, income potential, and the Okanagan lifestyle. (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

6/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.
