Description
This beautiful, bright heritage home is located on a large corner lot only three blocks from Nelson's downtown core. The main floor, 2-3 bedroom home featuring classic 9 foot ceilings, original fir floors, big bay window and brass fireplace has seen some tasteful, functional upgrades to make this a desirable property for most people shopping the Nelson market: the back entry-room / boot room was completely re-done this year plus brand new kitchen cabinets as well as new appliances were installed. The upstairs 2-bedroom suite, (with lake view!) has its own entrance from the side of the home, is mostly carpeted, and has self-contained laundry. Notable bonuses to the property include: independent storage shed/ workshop on the back alley, independent, off-street parking spots for two vehicles, private back yard with raised beds, fruit trees, a hazelnut tree, loads of berry bushes and a grape arbour. There are separate electrical meters and two hot water tanks, as well as tonnes of storage in the big dry basement. A new roof was installed in 2019. Not much to do here but move in and enjoy! *Subject to Seller's finding suitable accommodation. *Upstairs tenant is leaving September 1st, 2026. (id:63159)

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.
