Arbutus is a seaside residential neighbourhood found in the southern portion of Saanich East. The small, peaceful community is adjacent to the larger Gordon Head neighbourhood (at times considered a part of it), and home to some unique properties. Thanks to Arbutus’ location tucked between the waters of Haro Strait to the northeast and the beautiful, garden-filled University of Victoria campus to the southwest, residents living in this community feel very much at home in their natural surroundings. Plenty of houses for sale sit comfortably on spacious lots and there are even parts with roads wooded on both sides, for that added feeling of escape from the crowded city.
A wonderful home plus revenue! Offering ocean views and a forested back yard, this multi-residence property is just moments from UVic, Arbutus Cove Park and other attractions. Set on a 23,663 sq ft (.543 acre) lot, this total 3,505 sf, 6 bd plus flex room, 4.5 ba, 3-kitchen residence includes three dwellings: a 1,648 sf 2-bd, 2 ba main residence, 1,187 sf 2 bd, 1.5 ba adjoining authorized garden house, and a 782 sf unauthorized 2b, 1 ba basement suite. Connecting passageways enable contiguous living space or use as separate quarters. Renovated main residence features new windows, cove ceilings, fireplace, hardwood floors, contemporary kitchen, updated roof and exterior finishings, and water views from LR and front deck. Mature garden includes flowering Magnolia and other trees. Parking for 8 vehicles. Detached 2-car garage and other areas provide ample storage. Set amid two large properties with older homes, 2229 Arbutus offers significant future assembly / redevelopment potential.
