OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS! Welcome to this stunning waterfront home in Esquimalt’s West Bay, nestled between Sailors Cove and Hidden Harbour Marinas with a scenic seaside walkway to downtown Victoria. Offering breathtaking views of the Inner Harbour, water taxis at your doorstep, and direct access to the ocean for kayaking, paddleboarding, or boating, this home features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and legal Airbnb income as a mortgage helper. Previously approved township plans allow for a separate entrance to enhance guest privacy. Once a bed and breakfast, it retains an active tourist rental license with a 5-star Airbnb rating. The main floor boasts two bedrooms, a mudroom, laundry, and a spacious kitchen that flows into the dining and living areas, with access to a mature garden extending to the ocean. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms accompany a solarium with a vaulted ceiling, offering panoramic views and an outdoor patio. Each bedroom includes its own ensuite. The finished basement offers a full bathroom and walk-in closet, with the potential to add a kitchenette for extra rental income. In the garden, a custom-designed studio by local architect James Kerr serves as an ideal artist space or home office. Nearby, a Pennsylvania blue stone patio and wraparound bench provide a serene setting to enjoy the ocean views. The adjacent park enhances the property’s sense of space without the upkeep. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property is one of the few legitimate Airbnb rentals in Victoria and offers unique development potential up to 38.4 feet. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a luxurious waterfront home with income potential and future development possibilities. Call The Neal Estate Group now to book your private viewing!

About

Chris Gill*

Co-Owner

Born and raised in Victoria, BC, Chris knows all of this city’s neighbourhoods, homes, condo buildings, and projects. He uses his expertise every day in his work, and Realtors from all over Victoria come to Chris to pick his brain on strata-related questions. However, he is just as experienced in the single-family market, using his 10+ years of experience to his advantage. He is a multiple MLS Gold Award winner and has also received the prestigious MLS Special Gold Award. 

Chris attended Northwood University in Dallas, TX on a golf scholarship and then​ the University of Victoria. With his wife Francesca, he is the proud father of two boys, Abel and Everett. Outside of The Condo Group, Chris loves golfing, especially with Abel, skiing, travelling, playing hockey, and spending time with his family. He has been in attendance at a "perfect" baseball game with the Seattle Mariners, and in 2016, he attended the iconic Indianapolis 500. 

In the community, Chris is a part-owner of the popular local restaurant The Village Torquay and was invested in a local organics business. He also supports 100 Realtors Who Care and The Mustard Seed.
