Welcome to a rare corner home at The Shire featuring one of the largest private decks in the complex. Unit 503 stands apart in three ways that matter most. It is a corner home with light pouring in from multiple directions, it offers a 290 sqft west facing deck with mountain views, and it backs onto a protected Garry Oak meadow, providing a quiet, private outlook from the primary bedroom. The deck is the headline feature. At 290 sqft, it functions as a true outdoor room, with space for a dining setup, lounge seating, and a container garden, plus a dedicated storage shed for seasonal items and gear. Sunset views to the west, quiet meadow views to the north. For a condo, this is a rare amount of usable outdoor space. Inside is a kitchen fully loaded with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, an island with an eating bar, a separate pantry, and slow close cabinetry. The open concept living and dining area is bright with corner exposure. In suite laundry adds everyday convenience. The primary bedroom faces the meadow for cool, quiet sleeping, with a walk-in closet and a 3-piece ensuite featuring a luxurious 5-foot shower. The second bedroom and full bathroom give privacy for guests, a home office, or a roommate. Both bathrooms have heated tile floors. Secure underground parking, a separate storage locker, and bike storage are all included. The Shire is pet-friendly with no size restrictions, professionally managed, and BBQ friendly. Location is the final piece. Rutledge Park is across the street for green space, dog walking, and tennis. Roundhouse Cafe is around the corner. Bus routes are at your door. Minutes to Uptown, Mayfair, Thrifty Foods, downtown, UVic, and Camosun College. A rare combination of corner privacy, exceptional outdoor space, and central convenience.
