Description

Kaslo is a small village on Kootenay Lake — the kind of place where the school, the health centre, the lake, and the trails are all within walking distance of most front doors. 505 6th Street is a log home on a corner lot in the heart of the village — 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,832 sq ft with a basement for storage and a shed on the lot. The construction is log and wood frame with a asphalt shingle roof, and the home has been updated substantially over the years. In 2025, the current owners completed a comprehensive renovation: custom kitchen by Purcell, new roof, new windows, new flooring, both bathrooms renovated, and a roof addition over the basement entrance. The main floor has an eat-in kitchen, living room with wood stove, two bedrooms including a primary with ensuite, a full bathroom, laundry, and enclosed front and rear porches. Upstairs is a large loft area used as a bedroom and office space. Mountain views from the property. For someone looking for a home with real character in a place worth living in, this is worth a closer look. (id:63159)

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

5/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.
