New price! Open house Sunday, September 22nd 12:00-2:00. A blend of yesteryear charm & modern-day function in a premiere neighborhood on a quiet street! Upgrades such as vinyl windows, heat pump, recent roof, two gas fireplaces and a spa-inspired bathroom are just a few quality improvements the new owner will inherit.  The clincher for this home is the south facing back yard-it is a magical spot surrounded by mature foliage and fruit trees for ultimate privacy, fully fenced to keep pets and kids in (and deer out), and a multi-tiered deck that offers a hot tub, a private sitting area through French doors off the bedroom, and plenty of room for al fresco dining.   The updated chef’s kitchen features a wall oven, gas cook top, quartz counters, Italian-tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a timeless exposed brick feature wall for added style. Downstairs, recently renovated, is ideal for teens with a kitchenette for family fun nights, (or a student space for some rental income), and a luxurious large bathroom with rain-shower and heated floors.  Office could be a fourth bedroom, and with its own entrance, an ideal separate space for working from home.  The location is what Victoria is all about!  Walk to Willows Beach, Old Farm Market, Carnarvon Park, Oak Bay Rec, and all levels of coveted public schools close by. Community walking path connections will take to you where you want to go without the traffic.  UVIC and Camosun less than 5 and 10 minute drives, and quick access to downtown Victoria.
