Description
A rare find at Ophir Place — beautifully renovated two-bed, two-bath condo with a sunny balcony and sun room. The sleek renovated kitchen includes cork floors, stainless appliances, and newer tile work. The bathrooms have been updated with floating cabinetry, heated tile in the ensuite and a full glass walk in shower with a built in seat. Shoji screens lead to a graceful sunroom off the primary suite while a rare private patio deck completes the picture. Well-run and vibrant 55+ strata with very friendly community, guest suite, workshop, billiards room, event room, and library. Bike and separate storage are both included. Dogs of all sizes and cats are welcome too. One of the very few homes permitted to have hard surface flooring. Strata feels will be significantly reduced due to cable, internet and basic phone no longer being wrapped in. (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.

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.
