About This Property
A 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rancher with basement on a 0.22-acre lot in North Glenmore — one of Kelowna's most family-functional neighbourhoods. 2,566 sq ft finished, with another approximately 800 sq ft of unfinished basement waiting for the gym, workshop, or future rec room. Three bedrooms on the main floor including the primary with ensuite; two more bedrooms down. Fully fenced pool-sized backyard. Central A/C. RV parking. The kind of layout that grows with a family rather than forcing the next move.
The mechanical updates have been done: furnace replaced 2020, hot water tank 2023, most windows replaced 2021. The buyer inherits the major-system reset rather than absorbing it. Plumbing is primarily Poly B — buyers should factor this into long-term planning and consider it during inspection.
Location is where this listing earns its price. North Glenmore Elementary and Dr. Knox Middle School are both walking distance. Brandt's Creek Trail starts at the doorstep — practical for morning runs and after-dinner walks. The Glenmore retail centre with Save-On, IGA, and Shoppers Drug Mart is minutes away. The new Glenmore Sports Fields and community centre add another anchor. Downtown Kelowna, UBC Okanagan, Orchard Park Mall, and YLW airport are all under 12 minutes by car. Transit on the main road.
The lot is zoned MF1 — meaning long-term infill upside is preserved if a future owner wants it, but today it functions as a well-maintained family home rather than a development play.

Who This Property Suits
The natural buyer is a family trading up — moving from a 3-bedroom apartment or townhome to something with a yard, a basement, and a school catchment that works for elementary and middle school years. The 5-bedroom configuration accommodates 2–3 children plus a home office and guest room, or a multigenerational arrangement with grandparents using the lower level. Secondary fit: an investor or owner-occupier who values the MF1 zoning as a long-term hedge — the property functions as a family home today and preserves upside for redevelopment if Kelowna's infill rules continue to evolve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What schools is this home in catchment for?+
North Glenmore Elementary (walking distance) and Dr. Knox Middle School (walking distance) are the primary catchment schools. Secondary catchment is Kelowna Secondary School. Confirm current catchment boundaries directly with School District 23 (SD23.bc.ca), as boundaries are periodically reviewed.
How old is the plumbing, and is Poly B a concern?+
The majority of plumbing is Poly B, which was widely used in BC homes built in the late 1980s and 1990s. Poly B is not banned and many homes still have it functioning without issue, but it has a higher failure rate over time than copper or PEX. Insurers may charge higher premiums, and some buyers replumb proactively. Factor this into inspection and insurance shopping.
What does MF1 zoning allow?+
MF1 is a multi-family residential zone under Kelowna's 2023 zoning bylaw. It permits a primary residence plus secondary suites and carriage houses, subject to lot size and bylaw requirements. Larger redevelopment is possible if conditions are met. For specific allowances, consult the City of Kelowna planning department or a qualified land-use professional.
What's the commute to downtown Kelowna and the airport?+
Downtown Kelowna is approximately 10–12 minutes by car via Glenmore Road. YLW airport is approximately 12 minutes via Glenmore Road and Highway 97. Transit on Glenmore Road connects to downtown and the airport area.
When were the major systems updated?+
Furnace: 2020. Hot water tank: 2023. Most windows: 2021. Roof age and other systems should be verified during inspection.
Is the basement suitable for a legal suite?+
The basement is currently 457 sq ft finished with approximately 800 sq ft unfinished. Adding a legal suite would require permitting through the City of Kelowna, including separate entry, egress windows, fire separation, and other code requirements. MF1 zoning is generally compatible with secondary suites. Buyer should verify feasibility with a building professional before purchase if a suite is the goal.
