Description

This home is a vibe! Perched to capture panoramic views of the town, valley and mountains, this classic 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers timeless character, incredible space and a floor plan that's hard to find. Located on a quiet street close to schools and recreation, it features a bright four-level split with generous living areas, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and an entertainer's rec room complete with a wet bar, pool table, and cedar sauna. The primary suite is a true retreat with arched entryways leading to a walk-through closet and then to a beautifully renovated ensuite featuring a freestanding soaker tub, oversized glass shower, double vanity and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy the landscaped 100'x150' yard with a large deck and above-ground pool. You'll want to see this one!! (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.
