Description
Long before the roads on the West side of Bowen Island were paved, someone stood on this bluff and decided this was where the house belonged. Not because it was waterfront. Because it was THIS waterfront. In the summer at sunset, the sun lines itself up almost perfectly centred with the living room window. After dark, all that´s left is a sky full of stars. Humpbacks and Orcas pass through often enough that a notebook hangs on the wall to record them. Its pages are full. Oak floors, triple-glazed skylights, a catalytic wood stove, walk-in pantry and workshop create a home built for decades of life by the ocean. A private path winds down to a flat outcropping at the shore with access to deep water and a private mooring. It's easy to imagine doing updates. It's much harder to find another piece of shoreline like this. The house has been waiting here for nearly 40 years, while logbooks get filled after another with moments most people only hope to witness once. Now, for the first time, it waits for someone else.

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.
