A Rare Haultain Corners Gem. Built in 1911 and loved deeply, this Oaklands bungalow has been lovingly cared for over the years by the past and now current owner. The result is a home that carries the warmth of a century old character property with the reliability of one that's been essentially rebuilt from the studs out. The main floor offers three bedrooms, a bright and updated eat-in kitchen with new island, range hood, countertops, backsplash and appliances, a comfortable living room with smooth skimmed ceilings and refinished original fir floors and a renovated bath with new cabinetry, pocket door and crown moulding. Laundry is conveniently located on this level. The self contained basement suite with its own living space, bedroom, kitchenette, three-piece bath and generous utility/pantry room adds flexibility for family, guests or mortgage help. Outside, the property has been landscaped with genuine care: a patio with trellis, bordered gardens, a water feature, artificial turf, Tori gate, irrigated backyard and a new concrete driveway. At the rear, a reinforced shed and gazebo round out a private, well considered outdoor living environment. The mechanical story is equally strong with a 200-amp service, EV charging station, new roof, replaced sewer line, new storm drain, relocated oil tank, updated double glazed vinyl windows throughout and Van Isle Windows in the foyer and master. Location is the final piece. Situated directly on the Haultain AAA cycling corridor, a protected all ages route connecting the neighbourhood to downtown Victoria and steps from Haultain Corners cafés, shops and services. Oaklands Elementary, Oaklands Park, the Wednesday Sunset Market and Royal Jubilee Hospital are all within easy walking distance. This is a neighbourhood where people stay for decades...now it's your turn. (id:60457)
