Description
Perched above Kaslo Bay, this hybrid timber-frame home captures sweeping views across Kootenay Lake and the Purcell Mountains. Set just above the village, the elevation provides remarkable scenery and privacy while keeping you minutes from Kaslo’s waterfront, shops, and restaurants. Designed to take full advantage of the setting, the home offers over 2,300 sq ft across three levels, with large windows, warm wood finishes, and multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy the lake and mountain views. The main level features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area anchored by a propane fireplace, creating a welcoming space for everyday living or hosting friends and family. The entry level includes a spacious foyer with wood stove, laundry area, storage, and a flexible guest space with its own bathroom—ideal for visitors, extended family, or short-term rental potential. Upstairs, the top floor offers a private primary suite with ensuite, an additional bedroom, and a loft-style sitting area that works beautifully as a home office or reading retreat. Outside, low-maintenance landscaping, garden areas, and a generous deck create inviting outdoor living spaces, with room to relax, entertain, or simply take in the ever-changing lake views. Whether as a full-time home, recreational base, or part-time residence with rental potential, this property offers a comfortable foothold in one of the most scenic corners of the Kootenays.

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.
