Penny Turko eXp Realty. Real Estate Services Merritt, BC. Local Realtor® w/ 17+ yrs experience helping you buy, sell & love where you live. Hey there!

Real estate tips, local gems & scenic Harley adventures in scenic Nicola Valley. Let’s find your perfect place! 🏡✨ I’m Penny Turko... real estate matchmaker, design lover, and proud Merrittonian. I absolutely love to sell Real Estate in Merritt, BC! I help people just like YOU buy and sell homes here in the beautiful Nicola Valley, with less stress, more clarity, and maybe even a few laughs along the way. I’m your "give it to you straight" guide; honest, ethical, and all about creative solutions that make your real estate journey easier. I believe real estate isn’t just about the numbers, square footage and lot size… it’s about how a home makes you feel. The right space should spark joy, induce peace, and inspire the next chapter of your life. Whether you're selling a place you’ve loved or hunting for the one that makes your heart skip, I’m here for it. And if you’re staying put but craving a refresh? I’ve got design tips for that too. A bit about me:

I kicked off my Merritt BC real estate career way back in 1989, stepped away in 2005 to raise our our kids, and I came back in 2025 eager to bring fresh energy, seasoned experience, and creative ideas to today’s real estate market. Since 1989, my hubby and I have lived here in Merritt, where life feels a little sweeter now that we’ve become grandparents. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me hiking local trails, riding our Harley through the Valley, binge-watching design shows, or hanging out with my favorite humans. Let’s connect! DM me on Instagram @pennyturko, shoot me an email, or give me a call at (250) 378-7913. I’d love to hear your story. I can’t wait to get to know you better! Talk soon,
Penny

Still trying to figure out how anyone could cancel on a house like this. 😳🏡

Because 1913 Granite Avenue has that rare combination that’s hard to find: space, privacy AND a location where you can actually walk to the things you use every day.

Three large bedrooms upstairs, spacious living and dining areas, a beautiful oak kitchen with a big island and loads of storage, a family room with gas fireplace, upstairs laundry and a generous primary ensuite.

And then you step outside to a large covered deck, a super-private fenced backyard, garden beds, a shed and a double garage. 🌿

Oh and you’re one block from downtown. Groceries, dinner, the pub, parks, the post office and the arena are all within walking distance.

My buyer’s didn’t have to cancel… they probably could have just walked here! 👍🏻

But yes… sometimes buyers cancel.
Showings get rescheduled. Plans change. This is real estate, after all. 😂

But… it does mean there’s an opportunity for someone else to discover a pretty awesome home.

📍 1913 Granite Avenue, Merritt, BC
💰 $579,900

What if the same money you’d spend on a condo in Vancouver could buy you this kind of life? 🌊🍂

A private acre above Nicola Lake.
Panoramic views from nearly every room.
Boats drifting across the water. 🛥️
The sagebrush and golf course stretching out across the lake. ⛳️
And come fall… a front-row seat to some pretty spectacular colour. 🍁

This is lake living with room to actually live.

There’s space for family. Space for friends. Space for hobbies. And space to disappear for a while when you just need a little peace and quiet.

Inside, this custom 3,106 sq.ft. 4 bedroom, 3 bath home has all the extras that make staying home feel like the vacation:

🎨 A 210 sq.ft. heated & cooled atrium for painting, gardening or creating

♨️ Hot tub with a view
🌿 10x26 greenhouse + raised garden beds

And now, the number that makes this even more interesting…

💰 $879,000 - $50,000 below the recent $930,000 appraisal.

If lake life has always felt like something you’d have to wait for… maybe it’s worth taking another look.

What if the next chapter of this home’s story is meant to be yours? ❤️

There’s something special about a home that has been genuinely lived in and loved.

Now it’s ready for a new family to write the next chapter.

Set on a beautiful 0.292-acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of comfortable living space, two WETT-certified wood-burning stoves, a generous 16’ x 19’ deck, established gardens, mature fruit trees and berry bushes, three sheds including a workshop, and a magnificent willow tree that gives the backyard its own park-like feel. 🌳

There’s room to garden, room for the kids to play, room for hobbies and projects and plenty of room to simply enjoy being home.

💲 $459,900
🏡 MLS® 10396655

Maybe you’re looking for your first home. Maybe you need more room for your growing family. Or maybe you’re ready to downsize without giving up the yard and outdoor space you’ve always loved.

Whatever your next chapter looks like, this one is worth seeing.
