About This Property
Open House Sat 1-3. Built in 1934 for a lieutenant colonel—chosen in part for its prime harbour-side location—this charming 5-bedroom residence seamlessly blends history, character, and modern updates. Set majestically toward the rear of the lot, the home enjoys a peaceful, private setting with many windows capturing tranquil ocean views. Bordering Barnard Park and directly across from public tennis courts, you’ll also enjoy easy access to the scenic Songhees Walkway—perfect for waterfront strolls and outdoor living. Inside, the spacious living room showcases beautiful wood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and serene ocean outlooks. Original character details shine throughout, including hardwood flooring, classic stair railings, and elegant leaded glass windows. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry with built-ins, a gas cooktop, and timeless finishes that complement the home’s heritage appeal. A legal water-view suite provides excellent flexibility, ideal for added income or extended family. Outside, the lush gardens offer year-round beauty, truly flourishing in the spring and summer months. A rare opportunity to own a character home in an exceptional location—this is one you won’t want to miss. (id:64973)
