773 Island Road is one of those rare houses that people settle into and in which they can easily transition through life’s stages. With a time-tested three-floor plan, this 1912 Arts and Crafts home sits at the rise of the street on the corner of a treed right-of-way. A joyous house in a magical setting, it’s surrounded by greenery and irrigated low-maintenance gardens. A welcoming foyer offers access to a bright living room with gas fireplace and stained glass; it’s a warm room that easily hosts gatherings, yet offers quiet spaces. Hardwood floors carry you on through the foyer to a dine-in kitchen, serving meals and moments that inviting kitchens make possible. Off the kitchen, the dining room with its built-ins, fireplace, and fine details supports entertaining large groups, family meals, or having a contemplative moment at any part of the day. Through to the foyer and down the hallway, an office looks over the back garden. Past the kitchen, a laundry and mud room complete the first floor. Back through the kitchen, a fine stairway opens to the skilled work by Goodison Construction to fully upgrade the lower level with a wired media room and full bath in a layout that has been future-proofed to serve as a fourth bedroom, or a separate-entrance space for guests or caregivers. The finished attached garage and separate utility provide give easy access to key functions. The upper floor sees two bedrooms, a third bedroom or studio, and a central bath by Decora Tile. It’s a proven design that offers space for family needs, and easy access to attic storage space. New plumbing, electrical, heating, roof, rebuilt chimneys, and on-demand hot water reflect a home with affordable heating, electrical, and water services. On a quiet South Oak Bay street that continues to have its country-lane feel, 773 Island Road is a perfectly located, modernized house with spaces and nooks to suit changing mood and needs that is now ready for you to call “home."
