A truly extraordinary residence in the heart of James Bay, this remarkable 1905 heritage masterpiece designed by famed architect Samuel Maclure has been beautifully restored to honour its historic charm while seamlessly incorporating modern comfort and upgrades. This home offers 4,181 sq. ft. of versatile living space, thoughtfully configured as upper and lower duplex residences plus a private attic suite with its own entrance—an exceptional opportunity for multi-generational living, owner-occupiers seeking income, or savvy investors. Inside, you’ll discover five spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, generous living areas, and abundant storage, complemented by a welcoming wrap-around porch on the main level that captures the timeless elegance of this iconic home. A full-height basement with a sauna presents exciting possibilities for future expansion or customization. Major upgrades—including two separate furnaces, updated electrical systems, and a complete roof replacement—provide peace of mind and create a truly turn-key property. Perfectly positioned on a quiet street in one of Victoria’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, you’re just steps from beaches, parks, the Inner Harbour, and the vibrant amenities of James Bay Village. Rarely does a home of this pedigree, scale, and flexibility come to market—offering not only an incredible lifestyle, but enduring value for years to come. (id:44393)
