Description

Step into the perfect blend of timeless character and modern convenience with this beautifully updated heritage home on a rare .615-acre lot backing onto green space. Offering privacy, space, and exceptional energy savings, this property is designed for comfortable living both inside and out. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its charm, the home features modern finishes throughout, a newer high-efficiency furnace and central A/C (2021), a WETT-certified wood stove (2017), 200-amp service, and an impressive 9.5 KW solar system with net metering that may eliminate your power bill entirely. The beautifully landscaped yard is a true retreat with raised garden beds, mature fruit trees, an 8-zone underground sprinkler system with smart controllers, and plenty of room to relax or entertain. Spend summer days enjoying the pool with its new liner (2026) and Hayward chlorine generator (2024), unwind in the sauna, or take in the views from the bright sunroom overlooking the backyard oasis. Recent upgrades include a Bosch washer and dryer (2023), KitchenAid fridge (2025), gas range (2024), microwave (2025), and a new hot water tank to be installed in 2026. The property also features a double garage, ample parking, and room for an RV. With only one neighbouring property and green space behind, you'll appreciate the privacy and outdoor lifestyle this unique in-town property provides. (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

7/9 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.
