Originally built in 1929, this beautifully updated home sits on over half an acre in the highly desirable Uplands neighborhood. Surrounded by mature trees and well-maintained gardens, it offers a unique blend of classic character and modern comfort — ideal for family living.
The kitchen was fully renovated in 2022 and features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island, and top-quality appliances — perfect for everyday meals or hosting friends. A separate dining room with garden views adds a welcoming space for family dinners or special occasions. The spacious living room includes built-in window seating and flows into a sunny conservatory, great for relaxing or spending time together.
Throughout the home, hardwood floors add warmth and durability. Multiple flexible rooms provide space for a home office, study area, or quiet reading nook. The sunken family room, with its vaulted ceilings and cozy fireplace, offers a comfortable setting for gatherings or movie nights.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom features two walk-in closets and a private ensuite. Four additional bedrooms — two with their own bathrooms — and a shared 4-piece bath complete the upper level. Some of these rooms enjoy beautiful ocean views, adding an extra touch of charm. The lower level includes a large media room, guest bedroom, 3-piece bathroom, and a full laundry area.
Additional features include hot water heating throughout the home, an electric vehicle charger, and a private hot tub for relaxing at the end of the day.
Outside, enjoy several sun-filled patios, garden pathways, and plenty of open space for kids to play or for outdoor entertaining.
The location is ideal for families — within walking distance to the University of Victoria, Uplands Golf Course, Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and Gyro Beach.
This well-cared-for home offers a rare combination of timeless character, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
