Description
Step into a piece of local history with this captivating 1941 character home. Originally part of a sprawling 21 acre estate, this residence beautifully preserves its heritage with a magnificent 442 sq. ft. wrap around covered porch, classic shake siding, a cozy brick fireplace, soapstone wood fireplace, and hardwood floors. While its vintage charm is undeniable, the home has been thoughtfully modernized for today's living. Enjoy a bright, airy addition featuring vaulted ceilings and a natural gas fireplace, alongside complete kitchen and bathroom renovations, upgraded electrical, and thermal vinyl windows. Upstairs, are two charming bedrooms with angled ceilings and opening skylights, while the lower level offers a blank canvas for a workshop, ample storage, or additional living space. The true opportunity lies outside. Sitting on a highly private 0.38-acre lot, one of the largest remaining in the area, this property is an investor's dream. Under the new R-SSMUH zoning, the expansive grounds offer endless possibilities to subdivide, build a carriage house, or develop up to four living units. Complete with mature fruit trees, a single car garage, and a convenient drive through driveway, this rare gem is tucked away at the quiet end of Urquhart in a highly desirable neighborhood.

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.
