Description
Creatively designed home located just minutes to the ocean. This two story 1108 square foot, 1 bedroom plus den, 1.5 bathroom home enjoys southwest exposure, taking advantage of its passive solar design. Large primary bedroom and cozy den have ample windows creating bright spaces. The main floor living area enjoys the warmth of the Tempcast Masonry Heater which easily keeps both up and down warm throughout the winter months. Explore the trails that wind through the trees and boulders on the hillside behind the house on both lots. A mature apple tree and kiwi vine, flowering bulbs and mature perennials adorn the property amongst the rock work and raised garden beds. This convenient location is walking distance to the beach and ferry terminal, making this a perfect setup for someone looking for a sustainable living experience. The adjoining lot is listed separately and can accommodate a full dwelling, studio, extra garden or just a little more space between you and your neighbour. (id:63159)

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.
