About this home
Welcome home to 948 Dunsmuir Road, a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom split level on a 6,000 square foot lot in the heart of Esquimalt. With over 1,500 finished square feet, this original condition home is full of potential for renovators and vision-minded buyers. The south facing living room fills with natural light, while the upper level offers two bedrooms, a family room, dining room and a large deck overlooking the backyard. Two more bedrooms on the main complete the layout. Downstairs, the unfinished lower level with a side entrance, laundry and a partially finished bathroom is a blank canvas for extra living space or a future income helper. Bring your ideas and build equity in a location that continues to grow. Enjoy Esquimalt’s seaside lifestyle, with Esquimalt Plaza and the Rec Centre close by, plus Saxe Point and Macaulay Point for ocean walks and coastal views. Parks, trails, transit and downtown Victoria are within easy reach. Off street parking and a generous lot leave room to dream. (id:65179)
