In 1925, the architecturally designed home by Samuel Maclure underwent extensive renovations in 1997, skillfully executed by local Victoria designer Bruce Wilkin. Nestled on a serene lane amidst well-established gardens and towering fir trees, this residence still retains its timeless charm, much akin to its appearance nearly a century ago. Notably, the front of the house exudes a sense of modesty, while the rear portion gracefully opens up to a private, meticulously landscaped formal garden. Upon entering, a striking first impression unfolds within the arched central hallway, adorned with walls featuring a striated yellow pattern and a captivating silver leaf ceiling. Throughout the home, fir and oak floors add warmth and character. The renovated kitchen, complete with a coffered ceiling, seamlessly combines contemporary sensibilities with an antique aesthetic. The master en suite echoes the kitchen's cabinet design, showcasing elegant granite countertops and chrome knobs.The formal living room bathes in natural light, thanks to its well-placed windows, and features a propane insert for added comfort. Maintaining its historical authenticity, the original radiators continue to provide warmth and charm to this cherished home. A sunroom adorned with a gilded gold finish boasts slate flooring and offers picturesque views. This home is thoughtfully designed with a formal dining room adorned with leaded glass built-ins, a cozy sitting room featuring antique cupboards, and an additional fireplace insert nestled beneath an intricately carved fir mantel. Upstairs the house has a 3rd bedroom and 4 pc bath. Outside features a private lot with a delightful English garden plus lovely southeast views of Mt.Baker to McNeill Bay.The Maclure home maintains its original charm while being effortlessly livable.

About

Now in my 15th year working as a REALTOR© with Royal LePage, I have been fortunate enough to have built a successful business that continues to be driven by past clients and their referrals.

Originally form Winnipeg, my family and I moved to Victoria years ago after falling in love with the city and the lifestyle that living on the island could offer us. Victoria is a beautiful city with friendly people, great parks and an amazing climate. Our two children as well as ourselves (+ our dog, Roy) enjoy exploring all of the hiking and walking trails that can be found just about everywhere. I love the convenience of living in Saanich where I can drive to just about anywhere in less than 20 minutes.

I have always believed that the strongest businesses are referral based ones. I want every one of my clients to be so happy with my service that they tell every one they know about me. Please check out the testimonials page at VictoriaHomesNOW.ca

I didn’t get into real estate to make loads of money. I got into real estate because I wanted a job that would make me happy and satisfied. Long before I became a REALTOR©, I had an interest in real estate. Even after I had purchased my first home years ago, I would still read the real estate estate news every week from front to back.

I enjoy working with my hands and have performed significant renovations to every home I’ve owned which has given me a great insight into the way a house is put together.

When viewing houses with buyers, I am often able to “red flag” potential problems that many others might miss. When listing your home, I am able to offer great advice on what needs to get done in order for the home to show its finest and sell for the best price possible.

I take my business VERY personally. I make every effort to ensure that I give every one of my clients the best service possible. If you’re not happy, I’m not happy. I need to be able to sleep at night. 

I believe that it is my job to educate my clients and to help them make informed decisions. I never use high-pressure tactics and always leave the final decision up to you. After all, you are the one who has to be satisfied with the results in the end.

I have spent most of my adult life involved in some type of sales or marketing. Over the years I have become a highly skilled negotiator.

I believe in living life by the Golden Rule; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

A portion of every sale is donated to my favourite charities. Both the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and The Inside Ride do important and great work.
