By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

sea air, walkable neighborhoods, and homes shaped by imagination. From Richardson Street in Victoria to a fully serviced ocean-view parcel in Sooke’s Silver Spray Marina Estates, these properties keep the coastline close—whether through sweeping sunset vistas toward the Olympic Mountains and Whiffin Spit or an in-town address near daily life. Design-forward in different ways, they range from a blank-canvas build site to a 1999 reimagining of a lifted 1912 cottage.

Along a beautiful stretch of San Jose Avenue in Victoria, this 1999 live-work residence folds modern open design into the bones of a 1912 cottage—lifted, taken to the studs, expanded, and set on a new foundation and main floor. Bright, open spaces across two levels feel made for art and everyday life. On the main floor, wood beams pair with polished concrete and heated tile floors, guiding you from the front living room to a rear studio and den, then through French doors to a sheltered patio. Wooden stairs rise to a loft-style great room, where fir floors and 13-foot vaulted ceilings elevate the family and dining rooms around a central open kitchen designed for entertaining. A covered balcony offers a quiet vantage point, while three generous bedrooms and a full bath with a clawfoot tub complete the retreat—just a walk from Dallas Road and the Inner Harbour.
