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.
Welcome to Lifton Place, nestled in tranquil Saanich East, just moments from UVIC, Montessori, Mt. Doug, Arbutus schools, and the beach. This meticulously maintained 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom split-level home spans over 3,100 sq.ft of living space. The upper level features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and laundry room. On the main level, an open-concept design seamlessly integrates living, dining, and kitchen areas, enhanced by oak floors, elegant cedar vaulted ceilings, and a gas fireplace. The kitchen is a chef's delight with stainless steel appliances, ample storage, and opens to a south-facing deck overlooking a beautifully manicured, low-maintenance yard bathed in perfect southern exposure. Step down to the spacious family room with a second gas fireplace and walkout access to a rear patio featuring a pergola. The lower level offers additional versatility with a second kitchen, a fifth bedroom, and another laundry room, making it ideal for extended family living or rental potential.
