First time on the market in over 45 years; this is 3886 Duke Rd, a 2886 sqft 5 bed multi-generational home on a sunny 1.26-acre lot beautifully upgraded over decades to create an irreplaceable uniqueness and charm. Inside awaits timeless character - exposed t+g beam ceilings and brick fireplaces - yet seamlessly integrates modern design - newly updated kitchen w/ quartz countertops. Most significant mechanical upgrades completed like new heat pump, newer roof, drains, exterior siding, vinyl windows - this home is completely turn-key. Fully self-contained guest accommodation on lower level w/ new flooring. Two large front/back decks, carport, garage/storage, and garden shed. With many birds not commonly seen in the city, this home has a profound nature-viewing experience. Incredible location of only a few minutes to three of the best beaches in Victoria and only 5 minutes to Royal Bay w/ grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, parks, another beach, and the future BC Museum.
