Opportunity knocks. Offer collapsed on financing. This Buyers loss could be your gain! Also, please note that although the property is presently tenanted, possession is possible by end of March since tenants have given notice. What a great, central location on a no- through street, just a short stroll to Marigold Park, schools and walking distance to the Galloping Goose Trial. This tastefully updated 2200 sq.ft Strawberry Vale home offers good flexibility of use. Although it is an ideal single family home it could easily be adapted to a starter home with mortgage helper (suites not legal in Saanich) or be a good investment property. Statistically this home is listed as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home however realistically it could easily accommodate 5 bedrooms if needed. Built in 1954, the home is of solid construction. Upstairs offers a large living area, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, plus den and an open office area (both of which have vaulted ceilings). The open plan living/dining area features coved ceilings and solid oak floors that extend into the hallway and 2 bedrooms while the kitchen, den and office have laminate “wood” flooring. The kitchen features a concrete countertop, maple cabinets and is wonderfully bright with a full bank of windows overlooking the SW facing deck and backyard. Downstairs offers a good sized rec room that is open plan to a small kitchenette and dining area. There is one large bedroom with walk-in closet and potential for a second bedroom, (which is currently an unfinished storage area). The updated bathroom is also home to the laundry appliances. Throughout most of the lower level is wood laminate flooring. Next to the highlighted internal stairway (open to the vaulted ceiling above) there is a back door that allows convenient access to the downstairs area. This space could work well for the in-laws or for an extended family requiring extra space. Throughout most of the house windows have been upgraded to thermal and walls have been painted using upbeat contemporary designer colors. The home has been upgrade to 200 amp service and is now heated with electric baseboard. Outside there is a park like feel to the property that feature several nicely spaced oak, arbutus and evergreen trees and being a corner lot it benefits from the additional setbacks of city land on two sides which make the lot feel much larger than the ¼ acre that it is. The backyard is fully fenced and features a newer low maintenance deck that can be accessed through the kitchen. Off the deck are stairs leading down to a delightful, private patio area, two raised beds for easy gardening and a storage/garden shed. The rest of the yard has been nicely landscape with several lovely paths wandering thru out the very natural setting of native trees and shrubs. This is a great buy in a hidden away wonderful neighborhood! |
