Mid Century Jewel Box in quiet tree lined neighbourhood close to a beach.

A bright, airy, mid century home located a 10 minute drive from downtown Victoria. 1 bedroom with a King Size bed and den (queen Murphy bed) with open concept living, kitchen and dining rooms. French doors from the living room lead to a covered patio with fire pit and private, charming back garden. Gas barbecue too. Nearby villages (Oak Bay and Cook St.), quaint and funky respectively, are within walking distance or a short drive. Easily accessible beaches and parks add to our neighbourhood’s appeal.
