Description
Don't just buy a home—become part of Colwood's story. Known locally as 1 of 3 original "Wishart Houses," this historically significant residence has been a neighbourhood landmark for over a century, blending iconic 1913 craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. Original character shines through river rock fireplaces, refinished hardwood floors, and distinctive round field and beach stone construction, while recent improvements—including heat pump, sewer connection, wainscotting, and renovated main bath with heated tile floors and custom cabinetry bring everyday comfort. Upstairs, the primary offers an ensuite and peaceful separation from main living spaces. Outside, a beautifully maintained garden, large patio, and fenced yard create the perfect backdrop for summer evenings. A powered workshop, large unfinished basement, and dual driveway access provide exceptional flexibility and storage. Just a short walk to Wishart Elementary and minutes from parks, beaches, and amenities.
