Description

A character home with flexible living space and a backyard worth lingering in. Centrally located on a quiet street with local traffic only, this welcoming property offers everyday practicality, privacy, and an impressive mix of outdoor features. A covered front porch sets the tone before you step inside. The main level includes a large living room, two well-sized bedrooms, an updated four-piece bathroom, and a bright kitchen with plenty of natural light. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience and provides direct access to the backyard, keeping day-to-day routines simple. Upstairs, two additional spacious bedrooms create valuable flexibility. They can serve as bedrooms, home offices, hobby rooms, a playroom, or whatever your household needs next. The space is ready to adapt without asking you to compromise. Outside, the fully fenced and hedged backyard feels quiet, private, and remarkably productive. Pears, plums, cherries, red and green grapes, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries bring colour and flavour through the seasons. The deck and gazebo create an inviting place for outdoor meals, morning coffee, or long summer evenings with friends. Laneway access adds practical flexibility, including space for RV or boat parking. Updated electrical and flooring offer further peace of mind, while the home’s central location keeps everyday essentials close. Groceries, pharmacies, restaurants, parks, and trails are all within easy walking distance, so errands can become part of the day rather than the whole event. The surrounding neighbourhood is peaceful, friendly, and well connected without feeling busy. This is a home with character, useful space, and a backyard designed for growing, gathering, and enjoying. Come see how naturally it could fit the way you live. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing. (id:63159)

Amenities

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.
