About this property

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.

Not small children friendly

The unit itself was beautiful a very lovely "Show home" As we had small children we were visiting it was not condusive to entertaining them at the unit which was a draw back for us only. I would however recommend the unit to my friends who have older family members to deal with. Thank you

Christmas holiday

The property exceeded our expectations, and the owner went above and beyond to make our family holiday exceptional. Even accommodating us when we had to adjust our dates due to weather. The lower home is beautifully finished and well equipped with everything needed to prepare our holiday dinner. The beds were very comfortable and the space is large, warm and bright. Our first Christmas together with family after CoVid was perfect and enjoyed by all. Thank you Gerry.
