Description

Spacious 4 bed character home where original craftsmanship meets comfortable living. A welcoming front verandah sets the tone, leading into a bright and airy main floor featuring 10-foot ceilings, beautiful original woodwork, and fir floors in the living room, complete with a charming bay window. The generous dining room flows into a galley kitchen, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor also offers a primary bed with a built-in wardrobe, a second bed, a 4-piece bath, and laundry. Upstairs, you'll find two more good sized beds. The basement provides excellent storage space. Situated on a fenced 0.22-acre lot, the yard is a gardener's dream, featuring a mature hazelnut tree, pear and plum trees, raspberries, two varieties of grapes, rhubarb, kiwi, established garden beds, a greenhouse, a tranquil pond, and a pool—creating a private backyard oasis with plenty of room to relax, grow, and enjoy the seasons.

Amenities

3/9 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.
