About this home

Tucked away in Village Grove, one of View Royal’s best-kept secrets, this one bedroom, one bathroom end unit rancher townhome gives you everything a condo can’t: your own front door, no elevators, no one above or below you, and a private patio and garden right off the living room. It’s the perfect alternative to condo living, with all the ease of strata life and none of the hallways. Step inside and it feels like home the moment you walk in. Bright, warm, lovingly cared for and move-in ready, everything is on one level, and there are no age restrictions, so it works whether you’re buying your first home or right-sizing for your next chapter. The spacious living room opens straight out to the patio, so morning coffee and summer evenings happen in your own little garden. The kitchen flows into a dedicated dining room with space for real dinners, and the large, bright bedroom looks out to the garden too. In-suite laundry and amazing crawlspace storage mean you won’t have to part with the things you love. Bring it all. Set on approximately four acres of lawns, apple trees and flowers, Village Grove is so peaceful you’d never guess how close you are to everyday amenities. The strata is wonderfully run, neighbours actually know each other, and the “Tree House” common room is there for family gatherings, birthdays and community socials. It’s the kind of place people stay. The location makes life easy. Victoria General Hospital, Eagle Creek Village shopping, beaches and the Galloping Goose Trail are all just minutes away, with quick access to the Westshore and an easy drive into downtown Victoria. Walk, bike, shop and get back to your quiet garden in no time. A one-level townhome with a garden, storage, a great community and this location is hard to find in Greater Victoria. First home or next chapter, this is where life gets a little sweeter. Welcome home! (id:65179)
