Oak Bay 4 Bedroom Charmer. This lovely little home has had extensive updates over the years and has recently been buffed and cleaned - it's ready to go! It has been in the same family for years but the owner has decided its time to pass the keys on to someone new. It's cozy, no doubt, but has 2 rooms up, 2 rooms down and a family room as well - lots of space to spread out. It has a very private west facing back yard - perfect for the kids and a pet or two. It has a great central location in Oak Bay which means its close to everything - the ocean, schools, parks and shopping. Recent improvements include the roof, windows, gas furnace and fireplace, painting and washer and dryer.
