1219 Duke St

Open House Sat & Sun 2-4:00. Imagine driving home down a private tree lined cul-de-sac, being just minutes from the city amenities to your Oasis in Marvelous Maplewood. As you enter the driveway, you are surrounded by Massive Gary Oaks and greenery. It is quiet and peaceful and your massive 12764 sq ft lot gives a huge buffer to the surrounding homes. This lot has huge potential with the Newly enacted Government Action Plan. If you are interested, check with Saanich, but we are being told that the property could accommodate an additional Garden Suite, or additional duplex built on the property allowing up to 4 legal dwellings. Currently there is a detached double garage, with workshop, a carport and a work/storage shed. This spacious light filled home has over 2800 sf of living space and 1100 sf of multiple decks. Sit in the hot tub, and relax after a long day and enjoy the Oaks, greenery, gardens and views. Inside features include an open kitchen with wood cabinets, bar and dining area with lots of windows for natural light, cozy living room with wood burning stove and a slider leading to a large deck, all great for entertaining. There is a flex room currently used as an office and laundry space but could easily be converted into another bedroom. There is a spa inspired bathroom with large soaker tub, separate shower and heated floors. The spacious primary bedroom offers a pleasing outlook, out to nature. The second bedroom has an ensuite and a set of French doors leading to a balcony overlooking the gardens and fruit trees. The suite comes furnished and is easy to rent out to students for around $2000 per month. There is also a VI Mobile radio tower that brings in $550.00 per month, so total income could be $2500.00 per month. (The radio tower can be cancelled at anytime) There are fabulous walking trails close by as well as parks, and a golf course. This home is listed $236,000 under assessed value and is priced to sell, so come have a look. It won’t last long.
