Welcome to a home where character and charm shine from the moment you step onto the inviting front porch. Inside, original fir floors set a warm and timeless tone, leading you into a cozy living room with gas fireplace flowing into the dining area. The bright, thoughtfully updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, gas range and pantry. Step directly onto your sunny South-facing deck; an ideal setting for summer evenings, morning coffee, or hosting friends and family. The primary retreat offers a beautiful bay window, custom walk-in closet, and a private ensuite. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, each with custom closets, plus a recently renovated bathroom, create a functional and comfortable layout for families. Outside, the flat, landscaped backyard is a true oasis with apple and peach trees, hydrangeas, rose bushes, and more - plenty of space for children and pets. Located less than a block from McNeil Bay, you’ll enjoy the very best of coastal living. Surrounded by local coffee shops, cafés, and parks, and just a few blocks to Oak Bay Village and the Victoria Golf Club. Families will appreciate being walking distance to Margaret Jenkins Elementary School, Monterey Middle School, and Oak Bay High School, as well as nearby private schools including Glenlyon Norfolk School and St. Michaels University School. Extensive updates include a new roof, gas hot water on demand, vinyl windows, updated kitchen and bathrooms (heated tile floors in the downstairs bathrooms!), irrigation system, and a vinyl deck. Enjoy classic character, thoughtful upgrades, and an unbeatable Oak Bay location!
