This exceptional oceanfront residence merges architectural elegance, privacy, and refined West Coast living across more than 6,600 sq. ft. of beautifully finished space. Nearly one million dollars in interior and landscape enhancements have transformed the home, creating a private coastal sanctuary of exceptional comfort and timeless appeal. Privately tucked behind gates and set well back from the road, the property offers total seclusion and tranquility. From the impressive vaulted entry, panoramic views of Mt. Baker, the San Juan Islands, and the shimmering ocean unfold throughout. Multiple decks—some partially covered and equipped with overhead heaters—make outdoor living effortless year-round in every season. The expansive main level is thoughtfully designed for single-level living, featuring the oceanview primary suite, two additional bedrooms, office/den, open-concept kitchen, family and breakfast areas, as well as formal living and dining spaces. The gourmet kitchen includes high-end appliances, generous prep areas, a butler’s pantry, and direct access to an oceanside terrace for al fresco dining and relaxation. The lower level extends versatility with a home theatre and wet bar, games and family rooms, gym/yoga space, comfortable guest quarters, and abundant storage. A temperature-controlled wine cellar, custom woodwork and built-ins, and a three-car garage with lift option speak to the home’s exceptional detailing and craftsmanship. Professionally landscaped and impeccably maintained, the gardens and courtyards reflect the serenity of a refined coastal retreat, complemented by a charming putting green and beautifully layered plantings. Just minutes from Cadboro Bay Village and beach, close to top-rated schools and the University of Victoria, this residence seamlessly combines privacy, scale, and design—an outstanding expression of sophisticated West Coast living.
