This charming, mid-century, cottage-inspired home offers ocean views and private beach access just steps away via a secluded, private pathway. Nestled in a lush, cedar-lined garden, this unique split-level design creates a warm and inviting retreat. Entering at garden level, you'll find the primary bedroom, living room, dining room, and a full bathroom on the second floor with curved archways and French doors. The spacious kitchen sits on the mezzanine, offering a picturesque ocean view. An artist’s studio is tucked away on the garden level, while the light-filled, partially submerged lower floor features two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a laundry room. Located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with just three homes, this tranquil oasis is only a short stroll along the beach to Cadboro Bay Village, where you’ll find restaurants, cafés, a grocery store, pharmacy, and more. Schools, UVic, and Henderson Recreation Centre are all within walking or biking distance. (id:62865)
