Description
Built in 1912 and reimagined for the next century, 2654 Fernwood Road challenges everything you thought you knew about character homes. This beautifully restored Arts & Crafts residence is a landmark vision of modern living - proof that heritage, innovation and sustainability can not only coexist, but elevate one another. Completely reimagined by Scott & Scott Architects with Frontera Homes, this award-winning home underwent a comprehensive NETZERO retrofit, transforming a century-old residence into one of Victoria’s most remarkable examples of sustainable design. From the street, its historic character has been thoughtfully preserved. Behind the walls is an incredible level of craftsmanship, building science and innovation. Across 2,273 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, inviting living and dining spaces, a beautifully curated kitchen, library/den and generous basement storage/workshop. Natural materials, warm textures and carefully framed light create interiors that feel grounded, timeless and incredibly comfortable. Three separate deck spaces extend living outdoors and into the surrounding gardens. Here, remarkable engineering simply disappears into beautiful design. Virtually every major system has been replaced, including plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows, roofing and mechanicals. Triple-pane windows, advanced heating, ventilation and hot water systems, a low-emission wood stove and solar panels create an exceptionally efficient, fully electric home. A hidden cistern collects rainwater to irrigate the gardens and lawn. Set in the heart of beloved Fernwood, cafés, local restaurants, parks, schools and community gathering places are all close by, with downtown Victoria just minutes away. More than a renovation, this home is an extraordinary case study in what is possible when historic architecture and forward-thinking design are treated with equal respect. Some homes preserve history. This one helps preserve our future. (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.
