Description
Move-in ready, beautifully renovated rancher in the highly sought-after Mt. Tolmie/Midgard neighbourhood, just steps to UVic and moments from top-rated schools, parks, shopping, restaurants, and transit. Comprehensively enhanced in 2020 with a modern kitchen, two full bathrooms, upgraded plumbing, a gas furnace, and an on-demand hot water system. A new roof was installed in 2024, followed by a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with EV charger and A/C pre-wiring in 2025. The south-facing backyard is a private outdoor retreat with mature landscaping, multiple patio areas, and a charming gazebo—perfect for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining family and friends. Bright, stylish, and easy to maintain, it’s an excellent choice for first-time buyers, professionals, downsizers, or investors. (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.
