Description
Welcome to one of Fairfield's finest - a grand 1912 character home meticulously transformed into a spectacular 4,300+ sq ft residence on a generous 7,700 sqft lot. Offering 5 beds & 4 bath, this stunning home beautifully balances century-old craftsmanship with modern comfort. Largely undertaken by Zebra Construction, who in 2001 raised the home as part of a top-to-bottom renovation: all-new plumbing, electrical, drainage, & a full height walk-out basement with ~ 1,500sf legal 2-bed suite. Currently being enjoyed as one single-family home, the opportunity to capitalize on the secondary suite remains…perfect for extended family or strong rental income. Rich period details, 9ft+ ceilings on the main, & quality finishes flow throughout every level, including a rejuvenated gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances. Timelessly styled updated bathrooms & an outstanding family layout. All of this, with off street parking & only a short stroll to Oak Bay Ave & some of the city's best schools! (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.
