Offering breathtaking views of the Inner Harbour, water taxis at your doorstep, and direct access to the ocean for kayaking, paddleboarding, or boating, this home features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and legal Airbnb income as a mortgage helper. Previously approved township plans allow for a separate entrance to enhance guest privacy. Once a bed and breakfast, it retains an active tourist rental license with a 5-star Airbnb rating. The main floor boasts two bedrooms, a mudroom, laundry, and a spacious kitchen that flows into the dining and living areas, with access to a mature garden extending to the ocean. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms accompany a solarium with a vaulted ceiling, offering panoramic views and an outdoor patio. Each bedroom includes its own ensuite. The finished basement offers a full bathroom and walk-in closet, with the potential to add a kitchenette for extra rental income. In the garden, a custom-designed studio by local architect James Kerr serves as an ideal artist space or home office. Nearby, a Pennsylvania blue stone patio and wraparound bench provide a serene setting to enjoy the ocean views. The adjacent park enhances the property’s sense of space without the upkeep. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property is one of the few legitimate Airbnb rentals in Victoria and offers unique development potential up to 38.4 feet.

About

Brad Forrest, a resident of the Westshore for the past 30 years, and a Realtor for nearly half of that, has built his business on three primary characteristics: integrity, straight-forwardness and creativity. Brad enables his clients to make informed decisions by ensuring they are well-equipped with all necessary information, whether positive or negative. By using creative approaches in advertising, Brad also further supports his clients interests above his own by focusing on client listing goals rather than enhancing his own brand through bus-stop style advertisements, “Personal referrals from very satisfied clients is not only my brand, but my priority!” 

With a family of outdoor enthusiasts, it comes as no surprise that Brad’s relaxed and family-oriented lifestyle further amplifies his extensive skills in real estate, such as his keen, strategic negotiation skills, or his deep understanding of the geographical area. These family oriented values, combined with his client-first approach to business will guarantee a successful and enjoyable process for his clients. After all, “This is your real estate journey, and I am just here to guide you along it.”
