Description

You'll love this modern and sophisticated 3-level townhome tucked away on a quiet street on the cusp of downtown. On the main level you'll find the entryway, a workspace/den, a 4pc bath, a bedroom w/good sized closet, and access to the single-car garage which has enough space for storage and a small workshop. On the second level is the bright and spacious living room with great light from the south and east, dining area, kitchen, and laundry. On the third level is the primary bedroom, walk-in closet, 4pc ''Jack and Jill'' ensuite, and stairs that lead up to a wonderfully spacious and private rooftop deck. This corner-unit property has the most windows of any unit in the complex so there's great light throughout. New high-end laminate floors are extremely durable. Easy 10 min walk to downtown past the lovely shops of Fort St, and easy walk to Cook St Village and the Dallas Rd waterfront. The property is neat as a pin and ready for it's next lucky owner. Call your agent to arrange a showing. (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.
