Description
Don't let the address fool you! Tucked back from Craigflower Road on a quiet shoulder with mature trees creating a natural buffer, this solid 1955 home offers privacy, exceptional parking, and endless potential on a rare 0.29-acre lot. Perfectly positioned across from Gorge Vale Golf Club and just steps to Esquimalt Gorge Park & Pavilion, the Japanese Gardens, waterfront trails, and the Gorge Waterway, this location is ideal for those who love the outdoors while still being close to everyday amenities. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,152 sq.ft. of finished living space plus an additional 579 sq.ft. of unfinished basement, offering plenty of storage and future possibilities. Lovingly maintained and largely original, the home is a true blank slate ready for your renovation ideas and personal style. Zoned RD-3 (Single Family/Two Family Residential), the property offers exciting future potential for homeowners and investors alike (buyers to verify development possibilities with the municipality). Two separate driveways provide ample parking for multiple vehicles, an RV, or recreational toys. Whether you're looking to renovate, invest, or build equity in one of Victoria's most convenient locations, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. (id:63159)

How this is calculated
Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.
Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.
Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
