| description: | This highly desirable James Bay property, 50m away from the ocean & Holland Park, frames a view of the Salish Sea and Olympic Mountains. The home is on a quaint no through road. The neighbourhood offers a rewarding social community with several annual events. Street front plaques proudly display the recorded history of each home. The house is clean, well kept and will charm you into daydreaming of an idyllic, ocean-adjacent life, but please understand this is a 118-year-old house. Built in 1904 & upgraded in the late-90s, it is enchanting and completely liveable (or rentable) for the next 4 or 5 years while plans are finalized but will eventually require a renovation or rebuild and is priced accordingly. The property is NOT on any heritage registry. Owners have Zebra-designed schematic house plans you are welcome to. The lot is zoned R-2 and could accommodate a secondary suite. If heritage appeals to you the home exudes an abundance of character: spacious room, 10' ceilings on the main, period fireplaces, bay windows, leaded glass, French doors, high sash windows, fir floors, and transom windows. Several neighbours are members of various heritage boards and would happily help the new owner access heritage grants to offset restoration costs. The easy-care yard is manicured and offers beautiful curb appeal. Recent upgrades include a new roof, water & plumbing lines & drainage, and exterior painting but the value of this property is its rare location. The scenic Dallas Rd seafront promenade is steps from the front door. Right across the street is a beach access where locals enjoy sun, sand, and sea. A car-free lifestyle is possible with Thriftys and the amenities of the James Bay Village a block away, accessed thru walking laneways. The Parliament buildings, Victorias Inner Harbour and Beacon Hill Park are minutes away by foot or bike. This is a rare opportunity to own, live and eventually build in Victorias most desirable southern, ocean view neighbourhood. |
