Description

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious 3,132 sq ft home offers exceptional flexibility with a fully self-contained 2 bedroom suite and a private .22 acre lot. The main level features a welcoming tiled entry, an entertainment-sized living room with a striking rock fireplace, and a beautifully updated kitchen with maple shaker cabinetry, wraparound quartz countertops, modern tile backsplash, and quality stainless steel appliances. The adjoining eating area overlooks the private backyard, while the generous formal dining room offers versatility as an additional family room or flex space. Upstairs, the spacious primary retreat features vaulted ceilings, an enclosed sitting area/den, and a large 3-piece ensuite with oversized soaker tub. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. The full walkout lower level includes a bright 2 bedroom suite, ideal for extended family, mortgage-helping income, or multigenerational living, with the option to connect to the main home for a true in-law setup or enjoy the entire property as one expansive residence. Additional highlights include two ductless heat pump systems, a durable metal roof, vinyl plank flooring, and a flat, fully fenced backyard offering established fruit trees, plenty of space to relax, play, and entertain, all in a peaceful setting backing onto the Colwood Creek Trail and just steps to the park.

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.
