Welcome to a stunning South Oak Bay character home! Masterfully updated in 2013, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence blends its 1913 heritage-coffered ceilings, inlaid oak floors, and stained glass windows-with carefully crafted upgrades. The living & dining rooms flow into an entertainment-size kitchen and cozy den, all bathed in natural light. French doors open onto a generous patio and beautifully landscaped garden complete with fruit trees and established perennial beds. Upstairs are 3 light-filled corner bedrooms, and a principal suite with walk-in closet and large ensuite. A 2nd bathroom and large landing complete the upper floor. The full-height basement offers a large family room, office and self contained 2-bedroom suite. The upper loft adds flexible space, perfect as a studio, exercise room or children’s retreat. Recent improvements include a Fisher & Paykel dual-fuel range, on-demand Navien hot water system, and storm windows. A perfect home for family & social gatherings.
