Custom-built in 2018 to the highest architectural standards, the nearly 7,600 sq ft residence greets you with grand 10-foot coffered ceilings and rich Black Walnut flooring. The heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen, featuring solid quartzite countertops, illuminated cabinetry, and a professional appliance suite including a 48” Wolf gas range, Sub-Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher, and built-in coffee station.

The upper levels provide immense flexibility with an expansive rec room, private office, and a fully finished 1,500+ sq ft top-floor loft—perfect for a creative studio or guest wing. For extended family or rental potential, the lower level features a high-end European-style nanny suite with separate access. The exterior is a masterpiece of its own, featuring a wrap-around veranda and an expansive brick-paved terrace anchored by a tranquil tiered rock waterfall, all backing directly onto Park with easy access to Gowlland Tod Park.

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.
