The advice we got when we moved to Victoria was, "Buy a house in Oaklands". It has proven to be the best decision we ever made. There are great schools, shopping and recreational facilities close by and very centrally located in the Greater Victoria area. Originally built in 1947, this 3 bdr home has gone through a few changes and it's ready for some new ideas. Witness this home's charm as you approach from the street and enter the cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace. However, once you make your way to the back, it opens up to a large kitchen/dining area with a lovely family room. The primary bedroom is in a quiet corner of the house with a very useful, dry, heated crawl space below. The studio, currently used as a music room, can be more storage or additional living space. This is a nice flat lot with a private back garden for children and entertainment. Bring your ideas and get started right away. This has got to be the most affordable home in Victoria today!
