Description
OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY AUG 27 The Shopkeeper's Home Don't be fooled by the address! Built in the 1920s, 5-235 Island Highway is a true character home — the kind with coved ceilings overhead and hardwood underfoot, details that speak to an era when craftsmanship was simply how things were done. Today it sits tucked beneath a canopy of Garry Oaks with today's modern conveniences such as a new heat pump and furnace, new HWT and updated appliances. This character home was brought up to code when the developer built the townhomes on the surrounding property. This home enjoys the benefits of the strata community, yet maintains it's independence as it's own detached dwelling section. Inside, an updated kitchen brings modern ease into conversation with the home's original character, while banquet seating/ breakfast nook with storage welcomes the family. The original dining room is versatile and is currently set up as a bright home office. The updated main bathroom is modern and inviting - meticulously designed. Climb to the top, and you'll find the home's quiet reward: the primary bedroom oasis claims the entire attic loft, a private retreat above it all, complete with a spa-like ensuite and a walk-in closet. Three balcony spaces provide ample space to bathe in the sun, while the irrigated yard is adorn by Garry oak meadows. Two further bedrooms and a powder room round out a layout that has clearly welcomed generations, and will welcome many more. Storage is tucked into every sensible seam, right down to a crawl space generous enough to hold a century's worth of memory — or simply the overflow of a well-lived-in life. Two assigned parking stalls for your vehicles. Come see the unique treasures of the Shopkeeper's home. This is a home for anyone who believes that character isn't manufactured — it's built, lived in, and passed on. (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.

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.
