Description
Welcome to an extraordinary custom-built luxury home in Qualicum Beach, thoughtfully designed and constructed far above standard to capture light, views, and true coastal living. This impressive 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath residence offers an elevated lifestyle just steps from Eagle Crest Golf Course and minutes from the beach. Step inside to soaring 18.5-foot ceilings, 9 skylights, and maximum window allowance that frame beautiful ocean views while filling every space with natural light. High-performance energy-efficient casement windows, fully insulated walls (interior and exterior), concrete hydronic heated floors on both levels plus the garage, and a modern split HVAC system ensure exceptional year-round comfort and efficiency. Engineered trusses and earthquake tie-downs provide lasting structural integrity. The flexible layout features one bedroom on the main floor and two upstairs. Dual washer-dryer sets, an extra-large garage with 220V service and EV charger, and an oversized driveway add everyday convenience. Inside, two fireplaces and a built-in speaker system enhance both relaxation and entertainment. Outside, the south-facing backyard becomes a true private oasis. A stunning, expansive patio is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, complete with a 14-foot built-in swim spa, two gas outdoor fireplaces, a dedicated BBQ line, and multiple inviting lounge and dining areas surrounded by privacy landscaping. Every detail was intentional — this home was custom-built to maximize views, light, and enjoyment. There is simply too much quality and thoughtful design to list. This rare property must be experienced in person.(Character count: 1,712) (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.
