This home is in a great location, as it is midway between the airport and downtown Victoria. The neighbourhood feels semi-rural and there is easy access to walking trails. It is also quite close to sights like the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, Butchart Gardens, and the Victoria Butterfly Gardens.
The home is quite lovely with a well-stocked kitchen, comfy chairs in the living room, a large dining room, two bathrooms, and three good-sized bedrooms. The living room and dining room in particular are decorated with beautiful artwork and antiques.
The owner and his dog, Lucy, are both very friendly and sociable. In fact, I had the pleasure of taking Lucy on one of my evening walks.
The one downside to this home is that the windows did not have screens, and unfortunately we happened to stay during a week when sunny skies brought the temperature into the mid-20s on several days. We thus had a choice between opening the windows and letting in the mosquitos or closing the windows and living in a home that was on the stuffy and hot side. If the weather was cooler or if the screens had windows, I would be back in a heartbeat.
