Description

Wake up to the estuary, walk to the beach, and host family in complete comfort. Perched on the shore of the Holland Creek estuary, this rare freehold oceanfront residence offers first-line water views over the tidal wetlands — a living, changing seascape most dramatic at high tide. A natural trail with seasonal salmon runs and public beach access sit just steps away, perfect for kayaking and quiet coastal walks. Designed for connection and privacy, this home delivers true main-level living alongside generous, self-contained accommodations. The main-floor primary suite means single-level ease, with a walk-in closet and a spa-style ensuite featuring a jetted soaker tub and separate shower. The ocean-view kitchen is a showpiece: a sink framed by windows on three sides, granite countertops, nearly a full wall of solid-wood cabinetry, and a large island. The dining room window bench looks straight out to the water, and ocean views carry through the living room, family room, primary suite, and the signature Ocean-facing deck. Upstairs, four bedrooms enjoy ocean views, walk-in closets, and ensuites, including a corner room with a soaring vaulted ceiling — room for everyone. The oversized lower level is a world of its own, with its own family and dining rooms, an ocean view, and two private entrances, connected by a lockable door for complete separation. A detached cottage over the garage adds a self-contained retreat with its own kitchen, bath, and private patio — ideal flexibility for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. South-facing exposure fills the home with light all day. A heat pump provides both heating and air conditioning, the roof was replaced recently, and municipal water and sewer are connected. Walk to shops and amenities, with quick highway access — about ten minutes to the airport and twenty-two to the ferries. Bring everyone home — without giving up personal space. Measurement is approximate. (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.
