Charming character home in one of Victoria's best neighbourhoods. Tucked into the heart of Gonzales on a quiet, tree-lined street, this beautifully updated home is a short stroll to Gonzales Beach, Oak Bay Village, and the cafés, shops, and restaurants of inner-city Victoria. Just steps from Glenlyon Norfolk School, making it an ideal location for families with young kids. Thoughtfully updated throughout, it delivers an amazing family residence with a newly added self-contained suite (vacant as of August 1), ideal for multigenerational living, a nanny suite, or a mortgage helper. With 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across three levels, there is room for growing families, guests, and work-from-home setups alike. The current owners fully developed the attic, adding a rec room and two bedrooms that open up the top floor as a true retreat — the upper loft level has 6' ceiling heights, giving it a cozy, tucked-away character well suited to children or a quiet hideaway. A rare laneway runs behind the property, with a detached 100 sq/ft "bunkie," perfect as a home office, studio, or flex space. Further owner improvements include the new suite with its own breaker panel and washer/dryer, a new washer/dryer in the main home, a new downstairs bathroom with heated floors, a kitchen refresh with new appliances and refinished hardwood, plus fresh interior and exterior paint. Please note the lower floor has 6'6" ceiling heights. The upstairs fireplace is plumbed for a natural gas insert. Outside, a new back fence, fresh sod, front landscaping, and a brick path wrap the home, with a chicken coop and five laying hens for daily fresh eggs. A true urban homestead!

About
Rodney Henderson
Rodney has been a Real Estate professional since 2009 and has achieved MLS-award status every year since 2011. Clients attribute his success to his detailed nature, in-depth market knowledge, and his experience in construction. They take comfort knowing that the advice he gives is always in their best interest. His goal is to ensure that his clients have all of the knowledge needed to make an educated decision, including all of the reasons to buy and potentially even the reasons not to buy.
Rodney’s background is varied, from elite sports to customer service to construction to professional sales. From the first day he learned to ride a bike, his goal was to always go faster and be better. In 1994, he represented Canada right here in Victoria at the Commonwealth Games and then went on to a five-year racing career in Belgium. As you can imagine, when he decided to hang up the bike in 2001, there were some major adjustments, and he decided to move to Victoria from the Lower Mainland to pursue a career in Food Service, first in restaurant management and then as a territory manager for a multinational beverage manufacturer. While managing on Vancouver Island, Rodney learned time management was the key to success, providing a better service in less time. In 2007, turning his sales, marketing, and management skills towards the construction industry, he joined his cousin's boutique construction company specializing in lifting and renovating houses in Oak Bay. While applying his talents on the back-end of the business, Rodney learned hands-on how homes are built, what it costs to renovate, and what kind of renovations are possible. His vision has helped clients find their own diamonds in the rough and has saved his clients thousands of dollars and immense amounts of heartache.
Outside of work Rodney is passionate about his family and has recently taken up running where, (not) surprisingly, his goal is to always run faster and be better. If you happen to spot Rodney, you might find him playing at the park with his daughter (yes, he is the one going down the slide right behind her!), or out for a run around Elk and Beaver lakes, along Lochside Trail, or at one of Victoria's great running races like The Good Life Marathon, TC 10, or the Vancouver Island Race Series. While he achieved a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon in Fall 2015, Rodney is still chasing the sub 3:00:00 marathon time.
If you do see him around, don't be afraid to stop and say hi!
