Description
Discover 408 Balfour Heights Road, one of the most meticulously maintained residences in the Kootenays — where sweeping views of Kootenay Lake and the surrounding mountains greet you from nearly every room. 4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms on 0.41 acres of beautifully landscaped land. This home has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Soaring 9-foot ceilings and oversized picture windows invite natural light throughout, while recessed lighting adds a soft, refined ambiance to every space. The layout is both generous and purposeful — no square footage wasted, with abundant storage tucked seamlessly throughout. At the heart of the home, the chef-inspired kitchen with new countertops impresses with rich cabinetry and a full pantry, perfect for entertaining or quiet family evenings alike. Unwind in the inviting family room, step out to the lower patio for morning coffee, or retreat to the pristine garage — beneath which lies a rare and versatile basement space, ideal for a future income suite. Outdoors, the grounds are nothing short of picturesque: hand-laid natural stone retaining walls, manicured landscaping, and a private fire pit framed by mature trees and hedging, offering both serenity and seclusion. A sweeping paved driveway completes the property, providing ample space for family and guests. A rare offering of elegance, privacy, and panoramic beauty — this is Kootenay living at its finest.

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.
