Description
Wake up to ocean sunrises and mountain panoramas in one of North Saanich's most sought-after neighbourhoods. This Dean Park home has been thoughtfully transformed with over $300,000 in premium renovations, and it shows in every detail. The main level spans over 2,200 ft.² with an easy, open flow between living spaces. A generous living room anchored by a gas fireplace looks out across the water, while the dining room and updated kitchen sit at the heart of the home. Modern grey cabinetry, pendant lighting & a breakfast bar give the kitchen a clean, contemporary feel without losing its warmth. Just off the main living area, a 21x14 sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows brings the outside in and adds a favourite room you will use year-round. The primary suite captures the same sweeping views and opens to a spa-inspired ensuite with freestanding soaker tub, glass rain shower, dual vanity & marble-look tile. Two additional bedrooms share a second three-piece ensuite, and a main-level two-piece powder room serves guests. A propane fireplace in the family room adds a second cozy gathering spot for cooler evenings. Outside, the 15,000 ft.² lot features natural stone pathways, established gardens & a private, park-like setting on a quiet cul-de-sac. A 23x9 workshop, double garage, central vacuum & in-unit laundry cover every practical need. Insulated windows and multi-source heating keep energy costs in check. Minutes to Sidney by the Sea, BC Ferries, Victoria International Airport & the farms and wineries of the Saanich Peninsula. A rare combination of views, privacy & quality upgrades in a location that makes everyday feel like a retreat. (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.
