Description
Welcome to this charming 3-storey character home set on a rare and private 0.58-acre city lot. With 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a second bathroom already roughed in, this property is ready to grow with your family's needs. Numerous updates have already been completed, including durable cement fibre siding, updated windows, and an efficient electric forced-air furnace. Enjoy outdoor living with two oversized decks—one covered for year-round enjoyment and one open to soak up the sunshine. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room warmed by a cozy wood stove, a large eat-in kitchen with a separate dining area, and a generous main bathroom featuring a beautiful freestanding soaker tub. The main-floor bedroom, currently used as an office, features cork flooring and large corner windows that fill the space with natural light. Upstairs offers two generously sized bedrooms, with the beginnings of hallway closet additions already underway—ready for the next owner to complete. The full-height unfinished basement provides outstanding potential for additional living space, or abundant storage. It already includes a finished fourth bedroom, extensive new insulation, and plumbing rough-ins for a second bathroom. Outside, the expansive backyard is a private retreat surrounded by mature trees, with raised garden beds, plenty of room for children to play, and abundant space for gardening or entertaining. Storage under the deck and ample parking at both the front and side of the property add to the home's functionality. Located just 2 minutes from the marina in a convenient central location that offers a surprisingly rural feel, there could also be potential to subdivide this property, subject to City approval (buyers should verify with the City). With many of the major updates already complete, this home offers an incredible opportunity to add your own cosmetic touches and build equity while enjoying a unique property with exceptional space, privacy, and possibilities.

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.
