Description
Built in 1918 as a summer retreat for the Malkin family, this enchanting character home sits on what was once the original 218-acre King Edward Bay estate site. This serene, sun-filled setting on the West side is just 100m from the trail to the beach, where swimming, watching for whales, and sunsets can be part of your daily routine. Fully restored and updated in 2012, the home blends heritage charm with modern convenience. The original cottage remains at its heart, featuring a stunning great room with dark board-and-batten walls and a stone fireplace crafted from local beach stone. New bathrooms, quality windows, a heat pump, and a kitchen with a Bertazzoni gas range make everyday living effortless. The wraparound porch with skylights and deep overhangs enhances year-round comfort. Winding pathways, stonework and landscaping flow into expansive, sunny lawns and mature gardens on the level 1-acre property - a beautiful outdoor setting perfect for making everlasting memories with family and friends.

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.
