The main level includes a comfortable primary bedroom with walk-in closet, two additional well-appointed bedrooms, and a full 4-piece bath. Upstairs, a spacious family room and bonus room provide flexible space for relaxation, creativity, or guests. The lower level offers laundry, workshop space, and room to bring your ideas to life. Set on two separately titled lots, the fully fenced yard features garden space and enjoys convenient alley access. Sip your morning coffee on the welcoming front verandah overlooking the Inlet, or unwind on the rear deck while enjoying views of Mount Arrowsmith—this is a home meant to be lived in and loved.

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.
