Description

This Qualicum Beach rancher has been well maintained, with the care evident throughout. The home offers single-level living across 1,675 sq ft, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living room is anchored by a fireplace beneath vaulted ceilings and flows into the kitchen and dining area, creating an open, functional layout. The sun-room is a standout, featuring a cathedral ceiling, skylight, and windows on all sides overlooking the garden. It's the brightest room in the home and offers a versatile space for year-round use. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and private en-suite. The remaining two bedrooms are comfortably sized and suited to a range of uses, including a home office or guest room. The property is clean, well maintained, and move-in ready. The garden matches the home's level of care, offering mature, layered landscaping. A double garage and paved driveway complete the property, adding strong curb appeal. (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.

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.
