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.
This spacious family home is located on a private .44-acre lot in highly sought after Cadboro Bay. It offers a main level with large windows that are light filled, vaulted living room ceilings, a sundeck off the sunroom, a full-size laundry room/pantry beside the kitchen, a separate dining room, 3 good size bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. Tied to the main home is a 4th bedroom/office off the entry foyer. The ground level offers a no step 2-bedroom suite with its own laundry and has a living room drenched in natural light, with a gas fireplace, and a large, covered patio. The expansive yard is an outdoor oasis. Families will love the proximity to Frank Hobbs elementary, Arbutus Middle school, UVIC, and Cadboro Bay village with its local shops, cafes, and restaurants. At your backdoor is a path to Finnerty Cove beach. Flexible possession dates. Don’t miss this rare gem!
