1914 character home on quiet street. Large garden, ideal for dreamers!

Description

Big old character home with large garden. Situated at the end of a quiet no-through road. Fenced, large park-like setting with mature Gary Oak, Douglas Fir and Dogwood trees. The house dates from 1914 with several recent modernizations including hot water on demand, and a beautiful new kitchen. The layout is both charming and flexible with 4–6 bedrooms, depending on your needs, and 4.5 bathrooms. A quality grand piano graces the living room. (We are a house of educators and musicians.) This house is ideal for a family, and/or an individual looking for an ample private place to write, compose, or do nothing at all, and from which to explore beautiful Vancouver Island. The house is fully furnished. Available for September and October 2024, and perhaps some of August, if needed. Close to Mt. Tolmie Park (10 minute walk), to UVic (5 minute drive), SMUS (private high school, 3 minute walk), Camosun College (5 minute walk), Royal Jubilee Hospital (5 minute drive), 12 minutes drive to downtown. This is a perfectly located house, with everything within reach, while being in a natural haven; spacious, gracious and private. Public transit (2 minute walk), Victoria International Airport (30 minute drive), BC Ferries, Swartz Bay terminal (35 minute drive), ferry service to USA (Port Angeles and Seattle both leave from downtown). Sorry, no pets. No smoking or vaping.
