Description

DOWNTOWN KELOWNA LOCATION, CORNER LOT, AND SIGNIFICANT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL - this one is worth a look! This 2,093 sqft. raised bungalow sits directly beside Knox Mountain and offers a flexible layout for investors, homeowners, or developers. The main level features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an oversized living room, dining area, and kitchen with access to an 8' x 16' covered rear deck. Downstairs offers an additional bedroom and bathroom, large recreation room, and kitchenette, perfect for a separate suite. Recent updates include a new bathroom, new hot water tank, and new A/C motor in 2026. The furnace was replaced in 2015 and the roof in 2007. A covered carport accommodates up to 3 vehicles, with 2 additional parking spaces. Set in a quiet, established neighbourhood just minutes from downtown, with Knox Mountain hiking trails, the dog park, free boat launch, Okanagan Lake, restaurants, shops, and the growing Kelowna North area all close by. The property itself is zoned for higher-density development, while the nearby Kelowna Mill Site is planned for future redevelopment into expanded public parkland and beachfront, approximately a 5-minute walk away - adding even more appeal to this already well-positioned property. Whether you're looking for a home with a mortgage helper, a rental property, a long-term hold, or a future redevelopment opportunity, there is plenty to work with here! (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

2/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.

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.
