Stylish Updates and Just Minutes to the Beach
On the ocean side of Grandview Drive in the desirable Margaret Bay neighbourhood of Gordon Head, this lovely 5-bedroom and 3-bath home has been beautifully updated and sits on a large 9,600+ sq ft lot, just minutes from the University of Victoria and the water.
On the main level you will find a gracious primary bedroom, an ensuite bath with bidet and walk-in shower, 2 additional bedrooms, a large living room and dining room bathed in light, and an over 450-square-foot deck perfect for outdoor entertaining while overlooking the back gardens with maple, katsura and fig trees, rhododendron, wisteria, hydrangea and perennial borders. Downstairs in the walk-out basement is a recreation room and 4th bedroom (currently open to the rec room) perfect for teens, as well as a light-filled 1-bedroom suite ideal for multi-generational living.
Situated between Balmacarra Park and Glencoe Cove Kwatsech Park, you can walk down to the beach in 10 minutes and enjoy the many nearby parks and trails from Vantreight Park to the Ferndale Forest.
