Description

Value, Convenience & Community. Large buildable lot in the heart of Central Richmond, this property delivers the rare combination investors and builders chase: scale, location, and upside. Solid 4-beds, 1.5-baths, 1854SF split-level home offers a renovation path (original condition; roof required) or a clean slate for future development. Detached garage/workshop adds immediate utility-for storage, trades, or hobbyists. Generous lot size opens the door to multiple value-add strategies, ie: subdivision, coach house, or increased density potential (buyer to verify with the City; Bill 44 considerations). What truly sets this property apart is walk-able convenience. Enjoy quick access to Richmond Centre, transit, shopping, parks. Unbeatable location, real upside. Don't Miss Opportunity! (id:63159)

Transit

5 stop(s) within 800m

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.
