Description
Set on a quiet street in Gordon Head, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers a flexible layout with plenty of possibilities for families, investors, or multi-generational living. Built in 1978, the home has been thoughtfully arranged across two levels, with generous room sizes and excellent storage throughout. The bright upper level features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a welcoming living area with a gas fireplace, and a beautiful vaulted wood ceiling that gives the home warmth and character. The kitchen opens directly onto an impressive wraparound deck, creating a wonderful space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Downstairs offers great light as it is fully above ground. Here you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, a spacious living room with a second gas fireplace, and a kitchen with a separate entrance. Outside, the flat, fenced 7,705 sq. ft. lot offers a private, low-maintenance backyard with plenty of space to enjoy. All of this is located close to excellent schools, parks, the University of Victoria, and the ocean. (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.
