Description

Tucked away on the edge of Downtown Victoria, this townhome offers 3 full levels of interior living plus a private rooftop level dedicated to outdoor entertaining, creating a sense of space and separation seldom found in an urban setting. Set just off the Upper Fort district and bordering Fairfield and Rockland, the location is quietly residential, framed by mature trees, while remaining moments from cafés, shops, and daily amenities. Inside, the layout unfolds thoughtfully across multiple levels, with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms providing flexibility for everyday living, hosting, and working from home. The entry level includes a garage and office or flex space, while the main living floor connects the kitchen, dining area, and an additional balcony for casual outdoor use. The second bedroom is a standout, featuring soaring ceilings that add volume and architectural interest. Above it all, the rooftop patio offers generous space for barbecuing, gathering with friends, or unwinding outdoors in a private, elevated setting. Connect easily by foot or bike to some of Victoria's most loved destinations - Cook Street Village, Beacon Hill Park, Dallas Road Waterfront. (id:63159)

Amenities

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.
