Welcome to 750 Island Road, an exceptional 1936 residence, masterfully renovated in 2015 to offer the contemporary comforts of a modern home. Set on a sun-drenched and ultra-private 11,610 sq ft lot, the garden here is something truly special: an established oasis of mature trees, curated plantings, and vibrant blooms that would take decades to recreate. It's the kind of backyard you dream about: west-facing, tranquil, and soaked in golden light from morning until evening.
Inside, the home exudes soul. Period details, including arched doorways, French doors, and rich wood floors, pair beautifully with modern upgrades, including new plumbing, electrical, and a gas-fired hot water heating system. The main level is filled with natural light from windows on all sides. It offers a warm, welcoming flow: a grand living room with a gas fireplace, an open-concept kitchen with gas stove and custom storage, and a family room that's perfect for everything from lazy Sunday mornings to lively Friday night dinners.
A main floor bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for a home office or guest suite, while upstairs, you'll find three more spacious bedrooms and a stunning primary suite. The ensuite bathroom is a sanctuary, complete with a walk-in tiled shower, freestanding tub, and large windows overlooking the garden below. Expanded closets throughout the home provide ample storage.
The lower level has 7' ceilings, separate access, and is roughed in for a kitchen, adding versatility for growing families, multigenerational living, or long-term guests.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street a block from the ocean. Walk to top-ranked public and private schools, the Victoria Golf Club, Oak Bay Marina, charming cafés, and beaches where the kids can paddleboard, search for sea glass, or just be kids. Come home to a place with heart, history and a garden that holds the magic of every season. A rare offering in one of Victoria's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
