Description

Enjoy fantastic river and valley views from this well maintained rancher on a half-acre lot. The main floor offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with an ensuite featuring a tiled shower and soaker tub. The living, dining and kitchen areas open onto the recently rebuilt deck, which runs the full length of the back of the home and can also be accessed directly from the primary bedroom. The full walkout basement provides plenty of additional space with a fourth bedroom, full bathroom, large office and secondary living area. Stone countertops throughout the home and ample storage add to the functionality of the layout. Outside, there is a two-car attached garage plus a 25' x 13' detached garage, giving you plenty of room for vehicles, toys, storage or a workshop. The half-acre property also features underground sprinklers and a fire pit area on the back bank, taking advantage of the elevated views. A great combination of space, views and practical features, both inside and out. (id:63159)

Amenities

1/9 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. 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.
