Delightful Mt. Doug rancher. This thoughtfully updated one-level home blends comfort, character and easy living. An architectural gem, the sun-filled living room features a soaring 16'+ vaulted ceiling plus a striking river rock fireplace. Recent updates include new flooring, fresh paint and a stylish kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms have been tastefully modernized, while efficiency upgrades include natural gas service for the water heater and Valor fireplace, along with updated lighting & blinds. The primary bedroom with 4-piece ensuite bathroom enjoys serene garden views. Nearly all windows and sliding doors have been replaced, creating a seamless connection to the private, low-maintenance perennial garden with hibiscus, azaleas & climbing roses - no lawnmower required. A charming pergola and garden shed complete this peaceful outdoor retreat. Just a short walk to the walking trails at Mt. Doug & the sandy beach. A short drive to UVIC plus public transport nearby to Downtown Victoria, a 20 minute drive. (id:60457)
