When a custom builder designs a home for their own family, the result is something truly exceptional. Bathed in natural light, the main level showcases 9ft ceilings, oak floors, elegant crown mouldings and expansive windows that capture beautiful southern exposure and mountain views. The thoughtful floorplan features a formal living room anchored by a gas fireplace, a spacious dining room ready to host and a beautifully appointed kitchen complete with granite countertops, breakfast bar, new stainless steel appliances with a sunny breakfast nook overlooking the backyard and access to the large deck. The adjoining family room creates a warm gathering space, while a generous office, powder room, mudroom and deep double car garage add to the home's long list of features. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three spacious bedrooms and a full guest bathroom, highlighted by a luxurious primary retreat. This private sanctuary offers a spa-inspired ensuite with soaker tub and separate shower, walk-in closet and private deck. Designed with flexibility in mind, the lower level offers exceptional multigenerational living potential with a spacious two-bedroom plus den accommodation featuring radiant in-floor heating. Outside, the beautifully landscaped and fully fenced backyard offers an amazing backdrop for play. On-demand hot water, heat pump, central vacuum, built-in speakers and countless thoughtful upgrades reflect the quality craftsmanship found throughout. Perfectly positioned at the base of Mt. Douglas (PKOLS), this exceptional home places some of Victoria's best hiking trails, cycling routes and outdoor adventures across the street. With the Galloping Goose Trail and endless nature at your doorstep, every day feels connected to the outdoors while remaining close to schools, amenities and everything a growing family needs. Space for everyone, uncompromising quality and a location that inspires adventure - this is the forever home you've been waiting for. (id:60457)
