Description

This might just be the perfect downsize. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just minutes from shopping and amenities, this immaculate 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has the space and feel of a home without all the upkeep. The rooms flow beautifully, from the bright living and dining room with gas fireplace through to the kitchen and family room, but it’s the sunroom that steals the show. Surrounded by glass and opening to the garden, it’s a space you’ll use from morning coffee to evening wine. Outside, the backyard is exceptional, private, established and clearly created by someone who loves to garden, with winding beds, lawn, a fountain, fire pit and irrigation. There’s enough here to keep a gardener happy without taking over your weekends. All Poly B was removed in 2024, and the home has been meticulously cared for. There is truly nothing to do but move in and enjoy it. (id:63159)

Amenities

6/9 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.
