Description
Tucked into one of Bowen Island´s sunniest pockets, this home is set on a flat, sun-filled 0.4-acre lot with views over the golf course to Howe Sound. Seymour Bay is steps away, where talks of an electric passenger ferry are gathering momentum. Inside the home the many windows and doors frame the landscape, filling the space with warmth and light. The 2000sf main floor open plan living/dining/kitchen/den creates a home that lives just as well day-to-day as it does for special occasions. Downstairs there´s a rec room, 2 more bedrooms, and a 3-piece bath making this space ideal for accommodating guests and family. The story continues outside with a gorgeous mature, fully fenced garden with flowering trees, raised beds and a potting station. An oversized 2-car garage has plenty of room for your outdoor gear. It´s easy to imagine summer evenings spent entertaining under the sky, or quiet afternoons unwinding in the sun after a swim, a round of golf, a hike, or a day out on the water, paddle-boarding or fishing.

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.
