Upscale Character Home with Luxurious Amenities

The best of Victoria's character home charm and modern west coast living style by Swan Lake. This separate Lower Level home is bright, airy space with 9 foot ceilings; large bedrooms with walk in closets; all while affording an open concept. Beautiful wide hallways with wainscoting, crown molding, and curved arches. A focal feature of this home is the floor to ceiling rock-faced fireplace, finished with a live edge mantel. The kitchen boasts premium SS appliances perfect for the avid home chef.

This updated Lower Level Character Home is both private and quiet. Both cool in the summer and warm in the winter, the home has 9 foot ceilings, heated tiled floors in both the kitchen and bathroom, completely updated from floor to ceiling. Both the Master bedroom and the second bedroom offer walk in closets to stow away one's luggage and all that one can pack in it The luxurious bathroom has an abundance of linen and towels, a separate laundry and loads of led lighting. One can either enjoy the soaker tub for relaxing or for the shower lovers, a beautiful rain shower awaits you. The home has been both a pet and smoke free home. There is a separate upper 3000 sq. ft. home above. This home has undergone extensive sound proofing from above and below.

The private rear yard and the entire front yard are available for guests to enjoy.

One of our gracious hosts will personally greet you and provide an overview of the home. We are also available as required via phone/email to respond to any questions or concerns.

Centrally located between downtown, ferries, and YYJ airport yet tucked away in the blissfully quiet neighbourhood of Swan Lake with stunning views! With a nature reserve directly across the street, there is no shortage of beautiful wildlife including humming birds, deer, and bunnies; leaving one feeling at home in a true nature sanctuary. Located only minutes by car or bike to Elk and Beaver lake, 10 -12 minutes from Thetis lake, 15 minutes to the airport, 20 minutes to the ferry and only 10 minutes to downtown in the busiest traffic we have. A perfect and ideal location to enjoy nature, the city and when ready to get away from the noise, hustle and bustle of downtown Victoria, you will enjoy the space to sit back and relax.

While centrally located in the middle of the best of what Victoria has to offer. Ideally a car would allow for easy transport, there are several bus stops a short walk from the neighbourhood. We will gladly provide recommendations on the best sites to see, the best restaurants to eat at and maps of trails, lakes and areas of interest.

Feel free to use the Epicure spices, oils and other condiments suppled for your cooking pleasures.

Not small children friendly
The unit itself was beautiful a very lovely "Show home" As we had small children we were visiting it was not condusive to entertaining them at the unit which was a draw back for us only. I would however recommend the unit to my friends who have older family members to deal with. Thank you

Christmas holiday
The property exceeded our expectations, and the owner went above and beyond to make our family holiday exceptional. Even accommodating us when we had to adjust our dates due to weather. The lower home is beautifully finished and well equipped with everything needed to prepare our holiday dinner. The beds were very comfortable and the space is large, warm and bright. Our first Christmas together with family after CoVid was perfect and enjoyed by all. Thank you Gerry.

All four of us were impressed
Everything went smoothly and we were very pleased with Gerry's VRBO premises. So many nice features and amenities, it was absolutely spotless and everything was modern and completely stocked. We brought our own breakfast meals and left for the days/eves and appreciated everything else we needed was there. First class all the way and as we were leaving, Gerry was completing a beautiful outdoor fountain and fire feature. Gorgeous spot, highly recommended. Thank you!!!
