Lovingly owned and beautifully kept by the same family for approximately 80 years……Step into the timeless appeal of this character home in Big Valley—where vintage charm meets modern comfort. Filled with original details and enduring upgrades, this property offers both history and practicality.MANY major recent updates featuring brand-new siding (2025), cedar shakes (approx. 15 years old), vinyl windows, new back door (2025), a brand new 100amp electrical panel,(just prior to listing) and five of the six appliances purchased within the last five years. Additional upgrades include a high-efficiency furnace (2023), a hot water tank (approx. 2020), some new lighting , and a sewer line roto-rooted in 2025. Inside, the original woodwork and stained-glass windows showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era, and hardwood flooring runs underneath the carpet currently in place. The enclosed front porch(with removable windows) adds to the home’s nostalgic charm, offering a cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful setting and open views to the golf course behind. With four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, there’s room for family and guests alike. The basement bathroom was redone in 2024 with all new fixtures, including a shower, vanity, and toilet, and most of the basement has been gutted and prepped for finishing, leaving a wide-open slate to design additional bedrooms, a family room, or recreation space.Outside, you’ll find an insulated storage shed for all your outdoor essentials, a newer tarp garage, and a back deck that’s perfect for relaxing or hosting casual get-togethers. Ideally located in a quiet spot in Big Valley, a beautiful little town filled with community pride and small-town charm, standing as a true testament to quality and pride of ownership (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
