Description
Set on coveted Robertson Street, this rare waterfront gem offers spectacular views and exceptional re-development potential. Under the new Victoria OCP adopted Oct 2, 2025, the approx. 8,000 sq.ft. lot with 59 ft frontage supports a potential 1.6:1 FSR and up to 4 storeys (buyer responsibiltiy to verify)—an incredible opportunity to create a modern waterfront statement development or custom home. Built in 1922, the existing residence enjoys sweeping ocean views and breathtaking sunrises over Gonzales Bay and Trial Island from every level—even the backyard. A number of permitted updates, it remains livable yet invites your vision—whether restoring its historic charm or designing anew to fully embrace the panoramic setting. Just steps to sandy beaches, local shops, and minutes from downtown, this is a rare chance to craft the oceanfront residence you’ve always imagined. A special property, ready for its next chapter. Listing is primarily land value! (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.

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.
