1066 Finlayson Street, Mayfair Victoria

Description

Some homes ask you to imagine what they could be. This one shows you exactly what they should be. Built in 1940, this Finlayson Street character home has been loved through the decades and into the present with the kind of care that is genuinely rare. The original soul is completely intact, oak and fir floors warm underfoot, coved ceilings overhead, leaded glass catching the light, a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the living room like it has for eighty years. And yet nothing feels frozen in time. Every system has been quietly, thoughtfully upgraded so that the person who moves in next simply gets to enjoy it all. Two hundred amp service, EV wiring, improved insulation, a brand-new high-efficiency gas furnace. Three beautifully updated bathrooms. A stunning primary suite. The list of things the current owner has already handled is long, and it matters, because this is a home where you arrive and you simply live. Outside, a fully fenced yard with mature perennials, a large patio, and the kind of private outdoor space that makes a home feel like a sanctuary in the middle of the city. Below, a bright, self-contained two-bedroom suite with hardwood floors, a newer kitchen, updated bath, and its own laundry. Beautiful, private, and an exceptional income producer. Meticulously maintained. Immediately liveable. The kind of home people wait years to find. Central Victoria, walkable to cafes and restaurants, close to parks and transit, in the Quadra Elementary school zone, minutes from Mayfair Mall. (id:39198)
