Follow your dream, home! Tucked away on a quiet residential street, this lovingly maintained character home offers the perfect blend of original charm and practical updates, with generous outdoor space and two bedroom lower accommodation. The main level is filled with natural light from large windows and features hardwood floors, coved ceilings, a cozy fireplace, two bedrooms and a bright kitchen with a gas range. Off the kitchen, a large west-facing deck overlooks the fully fenced rear yard, where mature landscaping, tons of green space and several apple and pear trees create a private garden oasis that is genuinely hard to find this close to the city. Downstairs, the lower level has its own kitchen, living and dining areas, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, and separate entry. The home has also seen a number of meaningful improvements, including 200-amp electrical service, updated plumbing, a gas furnace, upgraded insulation thermal windows on the main, all under a newer roof! With nearly 1,600 sq. ft. of finished living space across two levels, a standout west facing yard and a central location close to Blackwood Park, Quadra Village, Hillside Mall, schools, recreation and Downtown Victoria, this home offers a rare combination of character, usable space and everyday livability in the heart of the city.
