Colourful, harmonious, light-washed, energetically sound home with great bones, looking for that special someone.
One hundred years of character vastly enhanced over the past three years of major renovation. All new plumbing, electrical, audio and heating systems have been installed throughout this beautiful 1911 Edwardian style Arts and Crafts home. Little expense spared in this fully upgraded home. Unfinished basement boasts legal additional accommodation with great income potential. Plenty of original in this home, from its refinished turn of the century wood fir floors and stained glass art, to the bold colour palette chosen to enrich the vibrancy of each room. Two bedrooms are found on the upper floor, both with walk in closets. Also upstairs a 1 piece water closet and a decadent 3 piece washroom. The main floor showcases a beautifully renovated custom kitchen, formal dining room and two entertaining rooms, along with a Jotul wood stove for auxiliary heat & everyday ambiance. The lower level houses the main laundry room, a third bedroom and another 3 piece washroom (unfinished). Additionally, on the lower floor a secondary suite/bed & breakfast accommodation slated for a full 4 piece washroom, kitchen, washer/dryer with separate entry.
This purple house is in the top 5% of efficient houses of its age across Canada. Generously insulated throughout, it proudly displays an EnerGuide rating of 66. It is HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) plumbed and ready for solar hot water installation. Additionally, ultra efficient heat sources include the following: in-floor radiant hydronic heating, electric Convectair units, and a clean burning wood stove. From the outside, locally hand-made custom storm windows maintain the vernacular of the home while keeping indoor heating costs reasonable. There are less than a handful of houses that can compare to this quality & efficiency of renovation throughout the greater Victoria area.
This is the house where love lives, and its dwellers thrive. The harmony of this home will be instantly noticed. Conscientiously renovated by the current owners, this home is a rare find in any area of town. Being tucked away on a quiet street in South Fairfield's Cook Street Village area, sells itself. The house will too.
