Colwood, BC V9C1R9 242 Portsmouth Dr

Steps from the ocean and nestled in one of Colwood’s most peaceful, established neighbourhoods, this 4-bed, 3-bath home backs onto parkland and borders Matilda Park—with a serene pathway beside the lot that leads to Esquimalt Lagoon and feels like your own private waterfront sanctuary. From the sunroom, enjoy breathtaking views of the lagoon and Victoria as herons glide over glassy water. The bright, open layout offers 3 bedrooms up, while the lower LEGAL suite—with separate entry and full kitchen—is ideal for multigenerational living or income. A cherry blossom tree welcomes you home each spring, and the backyard flows into nature itself. Kayak at sunrise, stroll the beach at sunset, then gather in the sunroom for dinner with a view. Homes like this don’t come up often—this is your chance to slow down, spread out, and enjoy life by the water.
