Oak Bay, BC V8R5V5

Live the Oak Bay lifestyle in this spacious 3,800+ sq ft family home that offers three levels of meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed living space. You'll appreciate the curb appeal of this character-inspired 1996 home, which has been freshly painted in modern hues. This is the perfect home for a growing family that adapts beautifully to every stage of family life. The main level is an entertainer's dream, featuring an updated kitchen with Corian counters, a gas cooktop, island seating, and oak floors. It opens onto a cozy family room and west-facing patio with a gas BBQ hookup. A second living room, a formal dining space, and a powder room complete the floor. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, a full main bath and a bright and airy primary bedroom with an ensuite. There is no shortage of storage, with expanded closets in every room. The versatile lower level, with a separate entrance, offers many options. Use it as a one-bedroom suite for in-laws or rental income, and keep the additional rec room and bedroom for the main home, or add those rooms to the suite to create a spacious two-bedroom rental. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with new plumbing, carpets, and exterior paint (2025), an updated heat pump (2023), a hot water tank (2021), and recently refinished wood floors. The sunny west-facing backyard is a private oasis with beautiful stonework, established landscaping, and a separate single-car garage with bonus attic storage. Enjoy the multiple seating areas, or swap one for a hot tub OR trampoline for the kids! There's no need to mow a lawn here, as you can enjoy a playground and field less than 200 meters away! This is a walkable lifestyle and location that can't be beat! One block from Oak Bay Village, steps to Bowker Creek Trail, and within walking distance to top-rated public and private schools and Willows Beach. This home offers the space, setting, and community lifestyle that families dream of! (id:31684)
