Description
Tucked away on a quiet Arbutus lane just moments from the ocean, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of timeless architecture, privacy, and mature garden beauty. Originally designed by Pamela Charlesworth and extensively renovated in 2000, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced into a private retreat where nearly every room enjoys picturesque garden views. Spectacular roses, clematis, rhododendrons, specimen trees, and layered perennial plantings create year-round colour and interest throughout the property. Designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the main level offers spacious principal rooms, three bedrooms, and two full baths, while the upper level is dedicated to a private primary suite with dressing room and luxurious 5-piece ensuite. Thoughtful garden infrastructure and comprehensive irrigation allow the next owner to enjoy decades of careful cultivation. Just steps to the beach and minutes to UVic.
