Highlights

  • The listing says the home is easy to suite, and the City map shows zoning of Multi-Unit: Small Scale (MUS).
  • The full basement includes a family room, two bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom and a laundry room.
  • Mountain, valley and panoramic views are listed, with a gas fireplace and central air conditioning.
  • The 0.32-acre lot has additional parking and RV parking, and the listing notes ALR land behind the property.
  • Lake Swan Lake is 1.3 km away, Alexis Park Elementary 2.7 km and Greater Vernon Multiplex 2.5 km (straight-line).

Things to check

  • Confirm with the City of Vernon whether a suite is permitted on this property before relying on that potential.
  • Ask for the ages of the furnace and roof, since the 1976 build year and roof age are not given in the listing.
  • The City map shows a wildfire hazard permit area, so check what that means for insurance and building work.
  • Ask what the ALR land behind the property means for future use and access.

Worth knowing: From November 2026, Vernon sits one hour behind Calgary all year, so a 7 p.m. puck drop in Calgary is 6 p.m. here. Moving from Calgary to Vernon →
