Two east-facing covered decks run the length of the house providing pastoral views of the garden below and the green space of Panama Flats beyond which floods in the winter giving the illusion of a lake. The grounds are fully fenced. The wide main floor staircase leads you upstairs to two bedrooms under the eves and a blue and white tiled bathroom complete with a clawfoot tub. On the lower level are two more bright bedrooms, a 3-piece bathroom and laundry. There is definitely potential to develop a secondary suite. The lower veranda leads to the garden with established fruit trees. This house, one of the original of the area, is in a semi-rural setting. Located on the bus route to Camosun College, it is minutes from Victoria General Hospital. Elementary and high schools are within walking distance. This is an ideal family home!
