Description
Wake up to the stillness of the lake, coffee in hand, as bald eagles glide past your deck and the morning light stretches across Kootenay Lake. This is the kind of everyday experience that never gets old—and it’s waiting for you here. Set on the waterfront in sought-after Balfour, this thoughtfully maintained home offers an ideal blend of comfort, flexibility, and lifestyle. The main level features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, designed for easy living whether you're hosting family or settling into retirement. Downstairs, a self-contained 1-bedroom suite opens the door to rental income, extended family living, or a private guest retreat. Outside, the property really delivers. The dock invites you to get out on the water at a moment’s notice, while the RV pad with electrical hookup makes hosting visitors effortless. There’s covered parking with a double carport, plus a dedicated workshop for projects, storage, or hobbies. Comfort is handled year-round with an efficient heat pump providing both heating and cooling, and the meticulous upkeep of the home is evident throughout—this is a property you can simply move into and enjoy. Location ties it all together. Just minutes from golf, world-class fishing, walking paths and Balfour’s popular pickleball courts, this is an easy choice for those looking to embrace an active, lakeside lifestyle without sacrificing affordability. Waterfront living in the Kootenays doesn’t have to be a dream—this is your opportunity to make it reality. (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.
