Wonderful starter home. Lots of pride of ownership here - new roof, deck, porch and shed. If you are looking for a private lot on a quiet cul-de-sac this is it. This 1233 ft modular home feels bigger than it looks with the kitchen, living, dining and family room located at one end of the house and two bedrooms, 2-4 piece bathrooms and the laundry at the other. There are lots of windows which allows for natural light and makes this home very bright. The back yard is surrounded by hedges and has a large 36x8 deck which is partially covered. The crawl space is bone dry and gives you lots of space for storage. The current owner has made every effort to make this home as picturesque as possible. Feel free to drive by and take a look.

This South West Facing Condo beckons the sunshine! Its a 2 Bedroom and 2 Bath, 1098 sq foot unit that has been tastefully modernized. The carpet has been removed and has been replaced with beautiful laminate flooring and baseboard molding. But it doesnt stop there! The current owner has painted almost throughout and replaced all the hardware. The kitchen is bright and sparkly - new SS appliances, new tiled backsplash, new kitchen counter and newly added cabinets. All you need is Jamie Oliver and you will have the most talked about kitchen in Victoria!! This gated complex has an exercise room, meeting room and even a library! But what really sets it apart is the private Dock - giving easy access to row the Gorge. Great Complex! Great Price!
