Description

Welcome to this main floor suite in Rosethorpe, a fully updated, meticulously restored character home! Ideal for anyone looking for a home for several months or a year or more, such as academics, medical professionals, judges, MLA's and consultants. Lovely family home, perfect for one or more children - well behaved dogs and cats welcome! This fully furnished, move- in-ready 1600 square foot suite offers gracious living at its best- soaring 12 foot ceilings, original Victorian trim work, stained glass windows, antique light fixtures, 2 gas fireplaces and elegant furnishings. Its light, airy and very large home office can be made into a 3rd bedroom if preferred. The master bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom with a tub, and there is a shower/toilet in the second bathroom. The spacious, fully equipped kitchen is designed for the serious cook with two wall ovens, a six burner Viking stove top and all the supplies needed for cooking as well as a coffee machine. The dining room overlooks a large private stone walled garden, for sole use by this main floor suite. The living room's 11 foot high French doors open out onto a deck, from which five steps lead down to a brick patio, ideal for entertaining. This is the main floor suite and an upper suite is accessed by a staircase discretely tucked into the side of the house. Laundry is ensuite. Off street parking is provided in the driveway. The monthly fee water, garbage collection and gardening services, but not electricity and gas. The suite is heated by the two gas fireplaces and electric baseboards. Victoria has a moderate climate, and during the summer this suite is kept cool because of its proximity to the ocean, and its 12 foot high ceilings. This main floor suite is located on a quiet cul de sac, in the prettiest cluster of heritage homes in James Bay. It is steps from Beacon Hill Park, with its large alpine and rose gardens, a children's wading pool, petting zoo and playgrounds, wood chip jogging trails and Beacon Hill overlooking the ocean. Enjoy long walks along Victoria's stunning Dallas Road waterfront, just a 7 minute walk away. The James Bay Village, with plenty of shops, restaurants and services, is just 5 minutes away and the Courthouse is just 12 minutes by foot. Easy access to the University of Victoria, Camosun College and Victoria's Jubilee Hospital by bus (all within 30 minutes) or via bike lanes. James Bay Community School and South Park School are within easy walking distance.
