Original Art Deco-style home, built in 1949 and nestled just off Oak Bay Village.

The basement offers a surprisingly large recreation room or hobby room which was recently used as a third bedroom, a two piece bathroom and another fireplace. The home's exterior is just as impressive with its original architecture still in place, a large garage connected by a breezeway and newer roof. With its prime corner-lot location in Oak Bay, this Art Deco gem is waiting for a new owner to make it shine once again. A super quiet and walkable area.
