Description

Welcome Home! This charming log 2 bed, 3 bath home is a mere hop, skip, and jump (less than 5 minutes!) from the beach and Nile Creek. It flaunts a kitchen so spacious, you'd think it was designed for a cooking show, complete with walnut-finished cabinets and a kitchen island perfect for dishing out family feasts. Whether you're basking in summer's sun or snug as a bug in winter, the living space has you covered with a ductless heat pump and a cozy woodstove, plus some trusty baseboards. Upstairs, you'll find bedrooms that are like a dream come true, each with walk-in closets and ensuites, and the primary bedroom even boasts a private deck for those blissful morning coffee moments. For visiting guests there is a two piece bathroom combined with laundry for convenience. Need more space? No worries! There's a guest studio outside with extra storage to boot. Got a swanky ride? Fear not! A 30 x 28 workshop with an over-height door stands ready for your prized possession, and it's as clean and tidy as a whistle. Plus, there are a few other outbuildings for your garden gadgets and a wood shed. The .61-acre lot is your private fenced paradise, with ample room for kids, pets, and a plethora of veggie gardens. A few fruit trees are already putting down roots, too. And if you're itching for a little retail therapy or a caffeine fix, a quick drive will whisk you to a delightful strip of shops featuring a grocery store, charming coffee shop, library, gift shop, art store, building and pet supplies, and even a legion.

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.
