Country cottage charm on a flat, private half-acre in Metchosin. Set behind mature hedging and established gardens, this 3 bed, 2 bath home blends original 1950 character with a pedigree few cottages can claim: the kitchen, living and dining spaces were redesigned in 2000 by Vancouver Island architect Pamela Charlesworth. A 1985 primary bedroom addition gives the layout real function. Recent updates include a 200 amp panel and a new hot water tank. The home is on municipal water and offers an unfinished walkout basement for storage, workshop or flex space with direct yard access. Out back, the lot opens to a forested setting. Charming and livable today, with some updating ahead to bring it the rest of the way. Steps from the galloping goose trail and Metchosin Village. For a buyer who wants flat Metchosin land and cottage character, this is a rare opportunity in one of Greater Victoria's most sought-after rural communities, and the finished package will be something special.
