Description
Sitting at the rise of the street on the corner of a treed right-of-way, this Arts-and-Crafts home blends quality craftsmanship with practical updates. New plumbing, electrical, heating, roof, gas fireplace, rebuilt chimneys, and on-demand hot water deliver piece of mind and ease of living, as do the surrounding greenery and low-maintenance gardens. Renovations that have preserved original build quality and time-tested floor plan leverage morning, afternoon, and evening sunlight and original stained- and leaded-glass windows to offer rooms, spaces and special nooks to suit changing mood and needs. It’s a thoughtfully restored, easy to live in and care for grand home that fosters togetherness when desired yet supports privacy when needed. On a quiet South Oak Bay street that continues to have its country-lane feel, 773 Island — a house for all parts of the day, all stages of growth, and all seasons of life — is now ready for you to call “home."
