701 Connaught Rd — Victoria, British Columbia

Open House: Sun. 11-1 pm Remarkable Character Reimagined and fully renovated, this captivating 1914 residence beautifully blends timeless craftsmanship with the comforts of modern living. Thoughtful renovations uncovered hidden treasures behind the walls while expanding the living space to create an efficient and welcoming home rich in artistic detail. Much of the mill work was created using repurposed wood from the original home. All new windows, two ductless heat pumps, and in-floor heating in the entrance, bathrooms, and dining room provide year-round comfort and efficiency. The versatile layout offers the option of a third bedroom or den off the dining room with a spiral staircase leading to a delightful reading den - the perfect escape for quiet moments. The primary retreat has private access to the upper-level, separate from the charming main-floor guest accommodation. Outside, the compact garden is a true sanctuary with an array of fruit trees including plum, peach, apple, pear, cherry, and bay leaf, complemented by raspberries and tayberries. Pathways created from reclaimed bricks found on the property add to the home’s storybook appeal, while climbing roses frame an inviting arbour at the front entrance. Tucked away on a peaceful street within walking distance of the City, bakeries, cafés, and amenities, this is a rare offering where enduring character and modern ease come together beautifully.
