Welcome to 1847 El Sereno Dr—an inviting 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offering approximately 2,900 sqft of finished living space on a level 8,500 sqft lot. This is a rare opportunity to establish roots in Gordon Head, one of Victoria’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. The home features a functional, well-designed layout that truly makes sense. The bright main level offers a welcoming living room with access to a front-facing balcony. Toward the rear, the kitchen and family room open onto a deck overlooking the expansive, level backyard—creating a quiet, private space perfect for children, entertaining, or gardening. The lower level offers excellent flexibility, with a large rec room, double garage, and potential for a 2-bedroom suite. Already plumbed for a kitchen and featuring a covered under-deck patio, this space is ideal for extended family or future rental income. Year-round comfort is ensured with an efficient gas furnace, gas fireplaces, and a newer roof. Buyers will appreciate the quiet street and convenient proximity to UVic, Mt. Douglas Park, beaches, and highly regarded public schools.

Averaged from the last ten complete years of Environment Canada observations at the nearest principal station, so it reflects the climate as it is now rather than a thirty year normal. Bright sunshine is the exception: it is no longer measured at these stations, so that figure is the long term average.
