Description

Tastefully updated three-bedroom rancher tucked away on a quiet no-through street in a convenient location. This bright and functional home offers an inviting layout with a spacious living room, adjoining dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen. Recent updates include flooring, appliances, and mostly newer windows, providing move-in ready comfort. A ductless heat pump ensures efficient year-round heating and cooling. Step outside to a fully fenced yard—perfect for kids, pets, and entertaining—complete with a back deck for relaxing or hosting. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate raised beds both in the yard and within the greenhouse, along with fruit trees including apple, peach, and cherry. Additional highlights include RV parking with a 30-amp hookup, lane access, a wired shed, and a separate storage shed. Ideally located near parks, schools, shopping, downtown, and VIU. All data and measurements are approximate and must be verified if fundamental. (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.

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.
