Welcome to 449 Victoria Avenue in south Oak Bay. This 2600+ sq ft updated 5 bedroom, 3 bath family home is set back from the road, and boasts an expansive ‘secret’ south-facing private flower and vegetable garden, just steps from McNeill Bay. Designed for entertaining, the light-filled main level features oak floors throughout, a spacious living room with gas fireplace, chef’s kitchen with ss appliances and gas range, opening onto a large deck which overlooks the fabulous garden. The generous primary bedroom features a two piece ensuite and the adjacent bedroom would also be an ideal lounge or nursery. A sunny third bedroom and updated 3 piece bathroom complete the main level. The garden level features two generous bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, laundry room, artist’s studio, and a cozy family/media room with a wood-burning insert, along with excellent storage. The property was expertly renovated in 2013, adding a new kitchen, updated wiring, windows, attic insulation, a refreshed lower bathroom, and a two car garage with upper storage. Every detail has been considered in this warm and functional family home. (id:60457)
