Description
There´s a particular moment here when the sun drops behind the mountains and the light turns golden across Grafton Lake and the entire home glows from within. Pastoral views of the valley and the lake are unique to this special setting, that´s just minutes to Snug Cove. The BRAND NEW home, under full warranty, was built by one of Bowen's most respected builders and it feels carefully considered in every way. Custom millwork, and exposed timber details add warmth and contemporary character throughout. Fisher & Paykel appliances anchor the kitchen with 'slim shaker´ cabinetry, plus a pantry with built-ins. The living room features striking double-height windows and a sleek Stûv wood-burning stove. Upstairs are the bedrooms, all with views of the lake and valley. Heated bathroom floors, heat pump heating and A/C, plus a 2-car garage wired for EV charging complete the home. Trail access, a community orchard, and easy access to Snug Cove via a future multi use bike path create a rare Gulf Island lakeside lifestyle. (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.

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.
