Description
Welcome to 881 Grouse Place, affectionately known by its owner as ''Grouse House''—a truly special West Coast sanctuary where nature, privacy, & comfort come together in perfect harmony. Tucked among mature trees & overlooking the lake & mountains beyond, this home offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away while remaining conveniently close to everyday amenities. Designed for comfortable main-level living, the home features a spacious primary bedroom on the main floor with direct access to the deck, allowing you to step outside each morning to enjoy coffee while taking in the peaceful views. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired ensuite w/ a separate soaker tub and shower. A second bedroom & full bathroom on the main level provide flexibility for guests or a home office. Inside, the home's West Coast character shines through with a soaring vaulted cedar ceiling, four skylights, and expansive windows that fill the home with natural light throughout the day. The updated propane fireplace creates a warm focal point in the living room, while the surrounding windows frame the ever-changing landscape beyond. The kitchen features solid oak cabinetry and flows into the main living and dining areas. Luxury vinyl flooring extends through the main living areas, kitchen, & laundry room, with tile in the entry and carpet in the bedrooms. Outside, the expansive deck becomes an extension of the living space. Whether hosting friends, enjoying quiet evenings, or watching hummingbirds visit throughout the day, the mature landscaping contributes to the property's tranquil atmosphere. Additional updates include updated windows, a newer roof installed within the past two years with a transferable warranty, & an impressive 10 kW solar system with 20 panels & a transferable warranty, helping to improve long-term energy efficiency. More than simply a home, 881 Grouse Place offers a rare opportunity to experience the beauty of Vancouver Island from a private retreat. Floor plan available. (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.
