Description

Beautifully furnished 2,041 sq. ft. home in one of Victoria’s most desirable neighbourhoods, just ½ block from the ocean and Ogden Point Breakwater. This is a private rear home in a front-and-back duplex, offering maximum privacy, its own entrances (side and front door), fenced garden, outdoor seating, BBQ, garage and parking. The home is bright, warm and comfortable, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms on three levels. The main floor has a cozy living room with decorative gas fireplace, beautiful plants and evergreens outside, a dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with a Saeco automatic coffee machine and dishwasher. The lower level is designed for relaxing, with a private movie theatre, sauna and full bathroom. Sonos speakers are throughout the home, with Bose speakers in the theatre. The upper level includes a king primary bedroom with ensuite and walk-in closet, a queen bedroom with desk and balcony access, and a third bedroom/office with a single bed and desk. There is also a full bathroom and laundry nook. The location offers the best of Victoria: a quiet residential setting close to the ocean, while the Inner Harbour and downtown are about a 20-minute walk away. Beacon Hill Park, Dallas Road, cafés and restaurants are nearby. UVic is approximately 15–20 minutes by car, and an elementary school is one block away. A comfortable, peaceful home for a winter stay, sabbatical or extended visit to Victoria.
