Description

Classic character home with a beautifully updated kitchen in the sought-after Gorge neighbourhood, just a short stroll to the Gorge Waterway & nearby parks. Filled with natural light thanks to excellent exposure & two skylights, the home offers bright and welcoming living spaces throughout the day. The main level has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining the warmth and charm typical of homes from this era, creating a comfortable balance between character and modern convenience. At the heart of the home is an outstanding kitchen designed with both function and everyday living in mind. Generous storage, double drawer dishwashers, and excellent counter space make cooking and entertaining easy, while the layout flows comfortably into the surrounding living areas. Comfort has also been enhanced through energy-efficient upgrades including a heat pump with air conditioning, providing efficient heating in cooler months and welcome relief during warm summer days. The home’s solid construction reflects the quality of the period in which it was built, something many buyers appreciate in established neighbourhoods. The lower level offers additional space and flexibility, presenting opportunities for future ideas whether that be additional living space, hobbies, or simply valuable storage. Outside, the private backyard provides a peaceful retreat. Relax in the hot tub under the evening sky, enjoy the gazebo and pond, or spend time gardening in the greenhouse. Mature landscaping creates a sense of privacy that makes the outdoor space particularly enjoyable. The long garage is great for cars & bikes. The location further enhances the appeal of this home. Meadow Park and Cuthbert Holmes Park are just steps away, offering trails and green space, while downtown Victoria remains only minutes away for shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. A welcoming home offering character, thoughtful updates, and an excellent location in one of Victoria’s most established neighbourhoods.
