Description
Welcome to your waterfront retreat on breathtaking Ruxton Island! This home has been lovingly designed, decorated, and cared for since new by one loving family. It offers an escape from the everyday with incredible panoramic ocean views of the Stuart Channel and Vancouver Island. Step inside and you are greeted by huge vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a sense of charm that you can only find on a place like Ruxton. This entire property from its multiple decks, bay windows, and outdoor patio shower are designed to take full advantage the view. Perched on this oceanfront bank you can see clearly all the way from Crofton to Dodd Narrows near Nanaimo. This vibrant community holds several yearly events and with a newly constructed community building there is always a helping hand just down the road. This is a west coast lifestyle that is second to none whether you 're looking to enjoy a summer vacation or year round living. All measurements and data are to be comfirmed if deemed important.

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.
