Description
Set across two separately titled 66’ wide lots, this beautiful character home is surrounded by mature landscaping, backs onto a peaceful greenbelt, and includes a detached garage/workshop. The second lot creates added flexibility for the future, with the option to keep one large property, explore building possibilities, or even sell it separately. Inside, original wood floors and an abundance of natural light give the main level warmth and personality. The expansive living room opens through French doors to the dining room, where the layout flows naturally into a spacious kitchen with plenty of storage. Two oversized bedrooms are found on this level, including a generous primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet, along with a 3-piece bathroom and a sunroom that offers another inviting place to relax. With windows in every room, the home feels bright throughout the day, while the large crawl space provides valuable additional storage. Outside, mature landscaping creates privacy and a sense of separation, while a brick patio and gazebo provide a natural gathering place for long summer evenings. The productive yard is established with blueberries, raspberries, hazelnut, pear, cherry and apple trees. There is something especially appealing about stepping outside to pick fruit from your own garden, or spending a quiet afternoon surrounded by greenery with the greenbelt just beyond. The detached double garage/workshop adds exceptional versatility, complete with its own 3-piece bathroom and laundry. River Road Park and public beach access are directly across the street, while The Riverbend Cafe & General Store and Naesgaard’s Farm & Market are just a short walk away. Schools, shopping, restaurants, trails, recreation and everyday amenities are all within easy reach. From a morning walk to the river to an evening under the gazebo, the setting makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors as part of everyday life. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing.

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.
