    The perfect "middle ground" between a brand-new build and a home with privacy, this is it. Built in 2022, 3 bed home in the University District is set up for a growing family, starting with a main-level entry that makes bringing in groceries or strollers a breeze. The heart of the home is a bright, open kitchen and living area—complete with a gas fireplace for winter nights and AC to keep the kids cool all summer. Upstairs, the loft is a game-changer; it’s the ideal spot for a playroom, a quiet homework station, or even a home office. What really sets this place apart, though, is the backyard. You have your own private, west-facing patio that backs right onto a green space and creekside trails, meaning no rear neighbors—just nature and afternoon sun. You’re within walking distance to schools and VIU, and just a quick drive to downtown markets and parks. It’s a low-maintenance home that lets you spend less time on yard work and more time exploring the trails right outside your back door More details
