Location, location, potential! This 5-bed, 3-bath home sits on a large lot nestled in a quiet part of Saanich, close to the end of Nicholson Street. From there, cyclists and joggers have easy access to Lochside Trail and Blenkinsop Greenway. The immediate area has a variety of natural parks to explore, including Swan Lake, Panama Flats, Rithet’s Bog, and Mount Douglas. Commonwealth and Gordon Head Rec centres are both less than 10-minutes away, and the neighbourhood has many options for groceries or dining, services or entertainment. The well-maintained home features an irrigated yard, large resurfaced deck, thermal windows, heatpump, and a large detached shop (fitted with a hoist and air compressor). There is also a fully functional basement suite with private entrance! While the finishing is dated, anyone planning creative updates will have excellent bones to work with (and yes, there is hardwood under the carpet!) This charming location will appeal to residents and investors alike.
