Some homes stand out not because they’re flashy, but because they feel right. This rare, top-floor 55+ condo was one of those homes — and I’m so happy to share that it has officially SOLD.

With over 1,350 square feet of living space, this oversized condo offered a layout that’s becoming harder to find. Bright, spacious, and thoughtfully updated, it delivered the kind of comfort and flexibility that makes everyday living feel easy.

One of the most loved features was the newly enclosed sunroom, complete with brand-new windows that improved both comfort and energy efficiency. It created a peaceful spot to enjoy treetop views and natural light year-round — a true extension of the living space.

Inside, the home offered a generous primary suite, two updated bathrooms, and a versatile den that worked beautifully as a second bedroom, office, or hobby room. The updated kitchen featured modern appliances, easy-care surfaces, and plenty of storage, making it just as functional for daily life as it was for entertaining.

Beyond the home itself, the building played a big role in its appeal. This boutique 29-unit community had already completed high-quality building envelope upgrades, offering peace of mind for years to come. With amenities like a workshop, library, secure bike storage, and individual storage lockers, it struck the perfect balance between privacy and connection. Friendly neighbours and a small-building feel added to the sense of belonging so many buyers are looking for.

Location mattered too. Just steps from Hillside Mall and transit, and minutes to Oak Bay, golf courses, and Royal Jubilee Hospital, this condo offered both convenience and calm — a rare combination.

Helping my clients through the sale of this home was truly an honour. Downsizing or right-sizing isn’t just about square footage — it’s about finding a place that supports your lifestyle, your routines, and your sense of community. This home did exactly that, and I’m so grateful to have guided my clients through this important transition.

If you’re considering selling a 55+ condo or starting to think about your next chapter, I’m always happy to have a calm, no-pressure conversation about your options.

I’m so excited to share that I recently represented the buyer on the purchase of a gorgeous property at 608–1159 Beach Drive in Oak Bay, officially sold on September 24, 2025.

This one was special. Tucked inside Hampshire House—a highly sought-after steel and concrete waterfront building with private beach access—this home offered exactly what my client was searching for: light, space, and the kind of views that instantly calm the soul.

The top-floor, corner unit spans over 1,200 sq. ft. with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a wrap-around covered deck. From nearly every main room, you’re treated to sweeping ocean and garden views, framed by lush greenery for privacy and serenity. Add in the charm of a cozy wood-burning fireplace, gleaming oak floors, and freshly updated bathrooms, and it was clear this home was the right fit.

Beyond the condo itself, the building is a gem - located right next door to the Oak Bay Beach Hotel & Spa and a short walk to the Victoria Golf Club, Oak Bay Marina, and the shops and cafés of Oak Bay Avenue. With thoughtful amenities like a guest suite, viewing lounge, workshop, free laundry, and bike storage, it’s the perfect blend of convenience and community.

Moments like this remind me why I love what I do—helping people find not just a property, but the home that feels like the one. Congratulations to my buyer on securing such a beautiful place to call home by the sea. 🌿🏡 🌊
