Description
Welcome to 1847 El Sereno Dr—an inviting 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offering approximately 2,900 sqft of finished living space on a level 8,500 sqft lot. This is a rare opportunity to establish roots in Gordon Head, one of Victoria’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. The home features a functional, well-designed layout that truly makes sense. The bright main level offers a welcoming living room with access to a front-facing balcony. Toward the rear, the kitchen and family room open onto a deck overlooking the expansive, level backyard—creating a quiet, private space perfect for children, entertaining, or gardening. The lower level offers excellent flexibility, with a large rec room, double garage, and potential for a 2-bedroom suite. Already plumbed for a kitchen and featuring a covered under-deck patio, this space is ideal for extended family or future rental income. Year-round comfort is ensured with an efficient gas furnace, gas fireplaces, and a newer roof. Buyers will appreciate the quiet street and convenient proximity to UVic, Mt. Douglas Park, beaches, and highly regarded public schools. (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.
