Description
Don't come to this home unless you're prepared to fall in love. On one of Strathcona's most coveted tree-lined blocks, home to the legendary Union Street Block Party, this character home has the warmth and soul that's becoming increasingly rare. Lovingly maintained with much of its original character intact, it offers bright, welcoming spaces, timeless appeal, and an effortless connection to the garden. Out back, the former garage has been thoughtfully transformed into a delightful detached studio/guest suite-perfect for guests, a home office, or a mortgage helper. No wasted space-just a home full of warmth and character. Some houses simply feel right the moment you walk through the door. This is one of them. (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.

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.
