A particularly special offering here with a commanding lot size of 2.25 acres in one of the most desirable waterfront locations in Canada. A dramatic sightline to Mt Baker is in the fore and the reflection of the sun off the water is mesmerizing from this elevated building site. And truly unique, is the protected pebble cove which is completely private to launch a paddle board or take in an invigorating swim. The stately Tudor Manor was largely expanded in 1989 by C & W Campbell Construction, and has had a recent refresh to the floor plan by Zebra Design which calls for 7 bedrooms and 8 baths in 10,015'. Choose your fit and finish to make this your own family heirloom, to be shared along with the long-standing resident eagles and deer. For those with a broader vision, you can combine this purchase with that of MLS#927103 for a whopping 5.17 acres in the heart of South Oak Bay.
