Discerning Character
This stately 1921 residence has been thoughtfully reimagined, blending timeless elegance with modern comfort. Set on nearly 12,000 sq. ft. of sun-filled grounds on a quiet lane off prestigious Beach Drive, the 5 bedroom, 4,500 sq. ft. home offers both privacy and presence behind custom automated gates.
Inside, classic architecture is paired with contemporary updates. A chef’s kitchen by Urbana is a show stopper on the main floor with its expansive island and top-tier appliances. Fir floors have been restored to their original magnificence. Comfort is enhanced with an updated underfloor heating system including new gas boiler along with three new natural gas fireplaces. The sunroom has been completely rebuilt as a serene retreat, while new folding doors extend the dining room to a refinished west-facing patio for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, the reconfigured primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite by Urbana. The lower level features a gym with rubberized flooring, along with a bedroom and bathroom with new shower.
Outside, extensive landscaping creates a sanctuary of its own: succulent crevice gardens, a new slate patio, custom cedar planters and a Bluetooth-enabled irrigation and lighting system. A separate double garage completes the property.
Centrally located near Oak Bay Marina, Willows Beach, GNS Junior School, and a short stroll to the Village, this home offers a refined retreat with ample space for family and entertaining.
