Description
Rare opportunity to own one of Chemainus Village's iconic ''Seven Sisters'' — a landmark row of Edwardian character homes just steps from the Chemainus Theatre. Built in 1904 and meticulously maintained, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home offers 2,401 sq. ft. of finished living space, including a self-contained 1-bedroom suite (vacant July 1) — and an ensuite off every bedroom! Unique C2 zoning allows for a wide range of residential and commercial uses — hotel, retail, restaurant, office, and service-based businesses — creating flexibility for both personal and investment goals. Character and comfort blend seamlessly throughout, from the original woodwork and stained-glass French doors to the updated windows and efficient central heat pump system. The functional kitchen features generous pantry space, while expansive decks on both the main and upper levels provide excellent outdoor living. Additional highlights include a heated basement/workshop area, and several detached outbuildings for extra storage, including a canopied woodworking space. Surrounded by productive gardens bearing apples, grapes, kiwi, figs, raspberries, and blackberries, the property enjoys an exceptional location backing onto the historic E&N rail corridor. Walk to the Hermit Trail, the golf course, shopping, the beach, and all the amenities that make Chemainus one of Vancouver Island's most charming seaside communities. (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.

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.
