I have sold a property at 2022 Byron St in Oak Bay on Jun 2, 2025. See details here

Once upon a time, in a land close to all the amenities you could hope for, there was an enchanting one level home – not too big, not too small…just right - it is the perfect haven for a budding family or a couple seeking a simpler, more serene life. Originally built in 1941, this home boasts old world charm with inlaid oak floors and decorative details. The welcoming entranceway leads you into the cozy living room and adjoining dining room and then onto 2 bedrooms and a renovated bathroom. The 1990 addition and additional updating make this home truly shine. A bright country style kitchen (with gas stove and pantry space galore) views into the family room and beyond to the back deck; a well designed laundry area; a family room with cute gas f/p, and skylights and the large primary bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite with easy access shower. How best to complete this fable - a huge back deck and yard with westerly sun, mature landscaping, a pond, and 2 sheds - just exquisite.
