OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS! Welcome to this stunning waterfront home in Esquimalt’s West Bay, nestled between Sailors Cove and Hidden Harbour Marinas with a scenic seaside walkway to downtown Victoria. Offering breathtaking views of the Inner Harbour, water taxis at your doorstep, and direct access to the ocean for kayaking, paddleboarding, or boating, this home features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and legal Airbnb income as a mortgage helper. Previously approved township plans allow for a separate entrance to enhance guest privacy. Once a bed and breakfast, it retains an active tourist rental license with a 5-star Airbnb rating. The main floor boasts two bedrooms, a mudroom, laundry, and a spacious kitchen that flows into the dining and living areas, with access to a mature garden extending to the ocean. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms accompany a solarium with a vaulted ceiling, offering panoramic views and an outdoor patio. Each bedroom includes its own ensuite. The finished basement offers a full bathroom and walk-in closet, with the potential to add a kitchenette for extra rental income. In the garden, a custom-designed studio by local architect James Kerr serves as an ideal artist space or home office. Nearby, a Pennsylvania blue stone patio and wraparound bench provide a serene setting to enjoy the ocean views. The adjacent park enhances the property’s sense of space without the upkeep. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property is one of the few legitimate Airbnb rentals in Victoria and offers unique development potential up to 38.4 feet. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a luxurious waterfront home with income potential and future development possibilities. Call The Neal Estate Group now to book your private viewing!

About

I bring seventeen years of experience in real estate, excellent customer service, a commitment to work hard, listening and follow through. I provide quality service to build relationships with clients and more importantly, maintain those relationships by communicating effectively.

As a 40+ year resident of Victoria and a seasoned real estate professional, I recognize and value the trust my clients place in me and I strive to exceed their expectations. As a Royal LePage Coast Capital Realtor, I have serviced a wide range of clients from first time Buyers to listing multimillion dollar properties. Prior to entering real estate, I founded and operated my own food distribution business from 1982 until 2003. Owning my own business instilled in me a commitment to customer service plus understanding the “importance to detail” in all business matters.

 Outside of real estate, I take pride in giving back to the community. I have served as a Board member of the University of Victoria Golf Charity Classic, Canadian Museum of Flight and the Royal LePage Shelter Fund.

 

For active leisure, I enjoy hiking, walking, cycling and swimming. Family is my number one “interest”. Followed by reading, travel, airplanes and the live arts.
