At the rear is a bright kitchen, with ocean views, a powder room, and access to the back deck and garden. Unit 613, also on the main floor, is a private 1 bed/1 bath suite with its own kitchen. The sitting room, currently used as a study by Unit 609, provides flexibility for future reconfiguration. Upstairs, Unit 611 offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, a generous open concept living space with kitchen and laundry hookups. Skylights, large south facing windows make this unit bright with city and ocean views. The main level is heated by a ducted forced-air heat pump with air conditioning, while the upper suite has a ductless heat pump providing heating and cooling, installed in 2023. Additional features include new appliances, updated plumbing and electrical systems, 200-amp service and a separate detached studio at the rear of the property, ideal for working from home.

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.
