Description
One property - two homes. A south facing, 1/4 acre hilltop property with Olympic Mtn and Strait of Juan De Fuca views. One title, genuine potential: for a multi-generational family in two fully private homes, for an owner-occupier with a mortgage-helper, or for an investor with two income streams on one title and tax roll. Two front doors, two complete homes. Full duplexes like this rarely come to market. One side is 1,423 sq ft: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open plan living with a fireplace to unwind by, a private office, sunroom, a workshop, and a large deck with ocean and mountain views. The second side is 1,942 sq ft: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open plan living with views, a vaulted loft office, more south facing sundecks and a peaceful east facing morning deck. Together, 3,365 sq ft, but completely private and separate living. Each home has separate hydro meters, sheds for storage, EV charging already in place, and generous parking for everyone. The two homes' privacy extends to the outdoor spaces. Graced with mature trees, lawns & gardens, and green space that wraps around both homes: each side has private room for kids to play, room to garden, and a genuine sense of peace and privacy. This loved home is turn-key ready today, with room to grow and make it your own over time. 'Hillhouse,' perched above the harbourside neighbourhood in View Royal is tranquil and private, yet conveniently close to everything. Starting with the playground across the street, Stewart Beach, Portage Park, Tovey Shoreline Access, the Lime Kiln Shoreline Viewpoint, View Royal off-leash dog park and bicycle pump track are all just a short stroll away. The E&N and Galloping goose trails are close by as well as Thetis Lake for hiking and paddling. Eagle Creek Village and Admirals Walk cover day-to-day shopping. Direct bus routes serve VGH, Uvic, Camosun and Downtown, which is also just a 15min drive. This is a rare chance to own two complete, private homes on one exceptional lot. (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.
