Description

Set on a generous 5,500 sq ft corner lot, this 1950's home offers a rare opportunity for buyers, renovators, and investors to add value in a sought-after Saanich East neighbourhood. The main floor offers just over 1,000 sq ft of practical living space with original hardwood floors running through the principal rooms. The living room is anchored by a classic red-brick wood-burning fireplace and filled with natural light from a large picture window overlooking the front garden. An adjoining dining room connects to the kitchen, and the level is rounded out by bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, the lower level offers a bedroom, flex space, generous storage, and a single-car garage, ready for your vision. Outside, the deep backyard is a private, sunny expanse of lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs, plenty of room for gardeners, kids, pets, or future plans. Held by the same owners for years, this home is ready for its next chapter. (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.
