Description
Hidden Oasis in Old Esquimalt! From the street, this property appears to be a charming 1930's character bungalow, but follow the driveway and discover your own private hidden haven. Tucked away on a beautifully landscaped lot are THREE SEPARATE DWELLINGS, creating the perfect setup for multigenerational living, extended family, guests, or rental income. The front bungalow offers timeless character (with 2 bdrms on the main floor plus a lower level with 2 additional bdrms, living room, bathroom and separate side entry), while the stunning West Coast contemporary home at the rear features soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. A detached garden suite completes this rare family compound. With private outdoor spaces, including an outdoor shower, and lush surroundings, you'll feel worlds away while still being just minutes from downtown Victoria, schools, shopping, and restaurants. A truly unique property that must be experienced to be appreciated. (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.
