Here's a screen capture of Google Earth, I chose a slightly different route than the one I'm planning to do (to avoid the altitude glitch).

Just commit to doing it. Assuming your office isn't on top of a mountain and your house is at the bottom, the grade probably isn't THAT bad.
I commute the same distance, 12 miles each way, 3 times a week. I don't have hills here, but I don't have showers either, and I wear a shirt & tie everyday. The only real challenge for you might be the climb, but I bet it isn't as bad as you think it will be.
