Oak Bay, BC V8S2T8 773 Island Rd

This Arts and Crafts home blends craftsmanship with updates to ensure ease of living. Sitting at the rise of the street on a corner lot to a treed right-of-way, the house is surrounded by greenery and low-maintenance gardens. New plumbing, electrical, heating, roof, gas fireplace, rebuilt chimneys, and on-demand hot water deliver peace of mind. Preserved Arts and Crafts quality and floor plan take advantage of morning, afternoon, and evening sunlight to offer a choice of rooms and spaces throughout the day. Each room is decorated and furnished its own way, to suit changing needs and mood, fostering togetherness when desired, privacy when needed. Faithfully restored, perfectly located and easy-to-live-in examples of craftsmanship are rare. And the adjacent secret-garden greenspace gives city living a decided country-lane feel. This is a house for all parts of the day, all seasons and all stages of life, and it is now ready for you to call “home."
