Description
Steps from Okanagan Lake and a short walk to downtown Penticton, this contemporary home offers something genuinely rare on one of the city's most sought-after streets: a spacious main residence paired with a fully self-contained carriage house above a double garage. The street appeal carries through to a well-balanced main floor warmed by in-floor radiant heat, built around a chef's kitchen with a butler's pantry and an open dining and living area that flows seamlessly to a large covered concrete patio — designed for year-round outdoor living. The yard adds character with pocket gardens, an outdoor shower, and custom planters and storage benches. A main floor primary bedroom with an ensuite completes the level, offering real flexibility for single-level living, guests, or family. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and a dedicated laundry area are accompanied by the primary suite — a genuine retreat with a spa-calibre ensuite and private office/den. A sun-soaked upper patio is accessible from both the suite and the hallway, stepping up to a showstopping private rooftop terrace with sweeping views of Okanagan Lake, the mountains, and the city lights at night. Off the alley, the detached garage is topped by a legal one-bedroom suite with its own balcony, private staircase, and dedicated parking — currently VRBO-licensed and proven as both a short- and long-term rental. A home this complete, on a street this good, doesn't come around often. (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.

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.
