Description
Imagine a home where legacies begin: family gatherings, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries to name a few moments. This is the home to create these memories. Set on a peaceful quiet cul-de-sac near a pathway to the local beach, this beautifully maintained 6 bedroom home is lovingly presented for a family to write its next chapter. A oasis awaits in the private back yard with an inground pool, hot tub area, surrounding patios, gardens, and lawn, all of which beckon gatherings, celebrations, fun, and warmth. Custom outdoor lighting and gazebo welcome day and evening use. The home is a two storey plan and includes a recently added 1 bedroom 733sf legal suite, ideal for guests, extended family, rental, or Airbnb, with its own slider to the pool area. The main level of this gorgeously decorated home features a large traditional living room with fireplace and picture window; a massive chef's kitchen awaits you with built-in high-end appliances, two sinks, island, hood fan, tile backsplash and recessed lighting. The adjoining dining area is accented by a tiled floor to ceiling wood fireplace, crown moldings, and a slider to the patio and pool. This level is 2127 sf and includes a 5th bedroom/office, powder room, large laundry room with door to the suite, and classy foyer with 17' ceiling. The upper level is ideal for a family with 4 bedrooms; this includes a large primary suite with large walk-in closet and tastefully appointment 4 piece bathroom. The legal suite is easy to access on the main level and was built for family; it is thoughtfully laid out with living and dining rooms, full kitchen, bedroom, separate access, and small den/media room. Located close to Piper's Lagoon, Neck Point Park, Hammond Bay French Immersion Elem. school, and bus routes. 10 minutes to shopping, more parks/trails and Departure Bay beach. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (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.
