Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our peaceful, art-filled, inviting home located in a quiet cul de sac has plenty of room and is great for couples or families wishing to visit beautiful Victoria, BC. There is over 2300 square feet of living space on two levels with a rec room on the lower level.
The upper level has a master suite with king sized bed, two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms and laundry closet. On the main level offers a comfortable living space with vaulted ceilings, office, gas fireplace, walkout to deck, backyard and open concept kitchen. Outside you will find a nice sunny deck with private yard, BBQ, trampoline, patio furniture, patio table and a grassy yard for children to run around and play. You can watch the hummingbirds from the dining room while drinking your morning coffee.
Victoria, BC is deemed Canada’s most walkable city. With many of the landmarks and tourist destinations located in the heart of downtown Victoria, it’s easy to explore the city by foot. Victoria has a wealth of museums, heritage and historic buildings and offers a great deal of cultural and recreational experiences. As the province’s capital, Victoria is home to the Parliament Buildings, constructed in 1898. Structures like the CPR Steamship Terminal Building and Thunderbird Park is home to colourful carved totem poles of Vancouver Island’s First Nations. Travel up Vancouver Island to see some of the oldest and largest trees in Cathedral Grove, watch goats on the roof in Coombs or surf some of the worlds best in Tofino, BC.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our home is centrally located between downtown Victoria and the Westshore Communities. We are an easy walk (10 min) or bike ride along the Galloping Goose Trail to nearby cafes, a grocery store, Starbucks and other amenities. The neighborhood is tucked away from busy streets and includes some great neighbors and a quaint nature sanctuary just down the road. We are a short drive to Thetis Lake, Francis King Park and Esquimalt Lagoon. There is a green space, natural area and playground close by which makes this a perfect home for a family or couple looking to relax away from the hustle and bustle.
