An Oak Bay Charmer. This versatile 3 bedroom home has a very flexible layout which will appeal to many buyers. It would suit the needs of a small family, a working couple, and even retirees looking for a home with space for a caregiver. The front yard is very Zen-like with Asian influences - quiet, sheltered contemplative spaces with shaded pines and bamboo. Entering the home you are struck by the foyer's light and spaciousness. A large family room awaits, with direct access to the peaceful patio beyond. The main common areas - kitchen, very large dining and living room, merge seamlessly into a space worthy of dinner parties with friends, new and old. Completing the main floor is the primary bedroom with ensuite and walk in closet, a second bedroom, guest bathroom and laundry room. Upstairs you will find a very large office/bedroom (with murphy bed) and 3 piece ensuite. The garage is completely finished with storage galore and an adjoining darkroom. 1 block to ocean/biking to Village
