Description
A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITY ON WHIDBY LANE. Perched on a spectacular 13,000+ sq ft west-facing waterfront lot, this rare Whidby Lane property offers an opportunity to create something truly exceptional. With a solid seawall, private beach access, breathtaking sunsets, and an easy walk to Sidney's vibrant waterfront and shops, the value here lies in the setting, the lifestyle, and the future potential. Backing onto Roberts Bay, a protected bird sanctuary, the setting is peaceful, private, and truly special. The existing home is ready for its next chapter, presenting a rare chance to build your custom dream waterfront residence in one of Sidney’s most coveted locations. Just a short stroll to Beacon Avenue’s shops, cafes, and amenities. Recent zoning changes may also allow for duplex, triplex, or fourplex potential; buyers should verify with the municipality. This is more than a property, it is a legacy opportunity in one of Vancouver Island’s finest seaside communities. (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.
