I just finished uploading this House for sale, 8509 Lochside Dr, North Saanich, British Columbia

You don't want to miss out on this opportunity to purchase a forever property in popular Bazan Bay! This quiet 12197 sqft. lot offers a fabulous, easily accessible waterfront with a level patio viewpoint and a jut out into the water and onto the beach. The property is well above the high tide level and the bank is protected with interlocking bricks. If you're a nature lover, this location is sure to please you. You'll frequently enjoy watching the various sightings of sea life and the many varieties of birds. The lovely views to the east are of James and Sidney Islands with majestic Mt. Baker in the distance. This is an excellent area for kayaking, boating and all water sports. This property is on municipal sewer and water plus there is still a well on the property that one could re-engage. The Seller has done numerous valuable upgrades to the home such as increasing the exterior wall dimensions to 2''x6'' and adding plenty of insulation and hardy plank exterior siding. Plus exterior insulated hurricane-grade shutters were added on both levels on the east side of the house. Also, thermal pane windows were installed and an updated airtight wood stove to make this home very cost efficient to heat. The perimeter drains have been replaced. The electrical system was upgraded and an EV charger installed. These costly updates make this home worthy of a major renovation! You can live in it happily as is and or do updates over time, the workshop offers lots of room to work. Perhaps add a garage or carport in front of the house, change the front entry and have a large mud room and a 2pc washroom or finish the bachelors suite as the Seller had planned to do by roughing in the kitchen plumbing and adding a lock off door. Upstairs offers much more usable space for you to utilize as you wish. This could be the perfect home for a large family or simply a place for your family to happily come home to visit you! The yard boast seasonal and native plantings as well as fruit trees. (id:2469)
