A rare Oak Bay treasure, this magical 1916 Arts & Crafts home sits on a double lot and offers a lifestyle of exceptional warmth, beauty, and grandeur. From summer birthdays in the sunny yard to dinner parties and family gatherings in the elegant formal dining room, this is a home made for meaningful moments. Access from the kitchen, with two islands, open to the deck with gas BBQ hookup and the lush backyard. Inside, every room is flooded with natural light, with a grand front living room framed by curving bay windows, an office overlooking the beautiful gardens and flowers, an intricate carved wood staircase, and rich architectural character throughout. Updates include rewired electrical, heating/cooling upgrades, renovated marble bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, and walk-in closets added to the bedrooms. The layout offers bedrooms upstairs, a games room on the top floor, and a double car garage. An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Oak Bay’s truly special homes.
