Description

Step back in time with this one-of-a-kind heritage home, known locally as Doctor Baker's House. Situated on a beautiful double lot in North Quesnel, this charming property is just minutes from shopping, downtown amenities, and services. Rich in character and history, the home showcases original period features including classic windows, brass doorknobs, arched doorways and built-ins, French doors, dormer loft with sitting area, and a cozy fireplace. Offering 2+ bedrooms, some hardwood flooring, and timeless architectural details throughout, this home is full of warmth and personality. A newer detached garage adds modern convenience to this truly special property. Rarely does a home with this much character and charm come to market. (id:63159)

Transit

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.
