About this property
Upscale Character Home with Luxurious Amenities
The best of Victoria's character home charm and modern west coast living style by Swan Lake. This Lower Legal Separate Strata Titled home is bright, airy space with 9 foot ceilings; large bedrooms with walk in closets; all while affording an open concept. Beautiful wide hallways with wainscoting, crown molding, and curved arches. A focal feature of this home is the floor to ceiling rock-faced fireplace, finished with a live edge mantel. The kitchen boasts Brand New premium model, stainless steel appliances perfect for the avid home chef.
This updated lower character home is both private and quiet. Both cool in the
summer and warm in the winter, the home has 9 foot ceilings, heated tiled floors in both the kitchen and bathroom, completely updated from floor to ceiling. Both the Master bedroom and the second bedroom offer walk in closets to stow away one's luggage and all that one can pack in it The luxurious bathroom has an abundance of linen and towels, laundry and loads of led lighting. One can either enjoy the soaker tub for relaxing or for the shower lovers, a beautiful rain shower awaits you. This has been both a pet and smoke free home.
This is not a basement suite, rather a lower strata duplex which is completely independent of the upper home. Updated sound proofing has made this an exceptional place to call your home away from home.
