Welcome to this fantastic Mt Tolmie gem! This home has been well looked after and offers a number of updates including newer vinyl windows, new gas furnace and on-demand hot water and an updated kitchen with gas cooking! The home also retains the sought-after character features of the era including original oak hardwood floors and coved ceilings. French doors off the dining room open to a lovely west facing deck that overlooks an incredible garden with mature plantings, irrigation system, the cutest garden shed, interlocking brick patio surrounded by lavender bushes and raised veggie beds on the south side of the home. Enjoy sunny afternoons in the west facing and private yard. The garage is nearly finished and easily made into additional living space on the lower level. Ideally situated on a very quiet street, close to all levels of excellent schools including Uvic & Camosun College, several parks within walking distance, a quick stroll to Hillside Mall and the trails of Mt Tolmie.
