Executive Estate. Set on an exceptionally private, park-like 2-acre property in the exclusive Garden Gate enclave, this beautifully updated European-inspired residence offers a rare blend of tranquillity, space and convenience. Surrounded by magnificent mature landscaping, the grounds have been thoughtfully transformed into an extraordinary outdoor retreat featuring winding paved pathways, entertainment patios, landscape lighting, a tranquil sunken garden with koi pond, and extensive irrigation with more than 40 zones. Substantially improved throughout, the home benefits from fresh interior and exterior paint, a new heat pump, new septic field, renovated bathrooms, and quality custom millwork. The updated chef’s kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, quality appliances, and a handsome butcher block island. Custom built-ins throughout the home add warmth, and character including the inviting living room which showcases a bay window overlooking the grounds and a custom mantel with gas fireplace. Offering approximately 5,044 sq. ft. of living space, the versatile floor plan includes three bedrooms upstairs, highlighted by a deluxe primary retreat with additional accommodation options on the main and lower levels for guests, recreation, hobbies, or home office use. Meticulously maintained, this efficient home is a rare offering in one of the region’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, just 30 minutes from Downtown Victoria.
