Description

Located in one of Victoria’s most coveted neighbourhoods, this Fairfield home offers a rare blend of versatility, income potential, and lifestyle. With 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the layout is well-suited for families or buyers looking to offset their mortgage with a fully self-contained 2 bedroom suite. Upstairs, the home feels bright and refreshed with updated flooring and paint, while the open living space flows seamlessly into a thoughtfully updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops and a gas range. Step outside to a sun-drenched west-facing backyard—private, usable, and perfect for entertaining or relaxing at the end of the day. The lower level provides excellent flexibility, with a separate walkout suite ideal for extended family or rental income. A detached garage adds even more potential—whether for storage, a workshop, or future ideas. All of this just steps to parks, schools, and the vibrant amenities that make Fairfield such a consistently in-demand location. (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.
