I have sold a property at 3060 Albina St.

This is your opportunity to get into the Victoria Real Estate Market. Great location close to the lovely Gorge Waterway, parks, Tillicum Mall, Pearkes Recreation Centre, and Tiilicum elementary school. This three bedroom, one bathroom home sits on roughly 6650 sq. feet and has a large fenced backyard waiting for your landscaping ideas. There is a large deck off of the kitchen and a storage shed for garden tools and bikes. The kitchen and dining room on the main level have been recently updated and the downstairs has been mostly finished. Fir floors are featured in the living room and both bedrooms and will add lots of warmth and character once they have been refinished. The bedrooms all have closets and there is plenty more storage in the lower level crawlspace. This property is perfect for investors or for a family just entering the market. Recent upgrades include all new electrical service (200amps), newer high efficiency gas furnace, and new kitchen and dining area.

Truly breathtaking views are awaiting you! This exceptional 1960's property with 3 bds and 4 baths (3666 sq. ft) is a showpiece of perfection. Interesting living levels allow for separation of family and guests if desired - but this home also has wonderful rooms and space to allow for gathering as well! Upon entry from the quiet no-through street (dbl. garage) the cathedral ceiling and light will draw you in. Pass by the door to the Master suite and step down to the main living level to the sunroom, kitchen, dining room and living room (fp), all with stunning south facing views of Gonzales Bay, the Sooke Hills and the surrounding neighbourhood. The balcony off this level allows for a 180 degree stunning view. The lower level includes the family room, office, another bedroom & bath, laundry, storage and two more balconies one of which has access to the lower property. This is premium Victoria real estate and if you want a view (without tour buses) it does not get any better than this.
