Description
Step into one of Nelson's most storied addresses. Commissioned by the city's first Judge and erected in 1897 by the same architect responsible for the iconic Hume Hotel. Quinte Lodge is a rare opportunity to own a landmark woven into the very fabric of Nelson's heritage community. Set on the largest downtown residential lot in Nelson, the property's generous 26,000 sq ft grounds deliver an extraordinary combination of privacy and convenience unlike any other. Perched above Baker Street, the home enjoys sweeping winter vistas, while towering mature maples envelop the property in seclusion and beauty through the summer months. The grounds are a gardener's delight with laburnum trees, apple trees, raspberry canes, a hillside of day lilies, irises, and a thriving strawberry patch. Inside, the residence has been thoughtfully updated while honouring its distinguished character. High-efficiency custom windows replicate the originals, complemented by a new roof, updated appliances, fresh exterior paint, and modernized electrical. Providing comfort and peace of mind without compromising the home's historic soul. A self-contained in-law suite in the lower level offers excellent mortgage-helper potential or a welcoming space for extended family and guests. Quinte Lodge is more than a home, it is a testament to Nelson's rich architectural heritage and enduring civic pride. Properties of this calibre and history come to market once in a generation.

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.
