1869 Penshurst Rd, Saanich

Welcome to a home filled with warmth, light, and endless possibilities. Quietly tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac in the heart of Gordon Head, this well-maintained residence is set on a beautifully landscaped, sun-drenched lot with a private south/west-facing yard. From aerial views you can appreciate the leafy, park-like setting, the cul-de-sac location and distant water views to the west. While the front and side gardens offer mature plantings and inviting outdoor spaces, the rear yard is largely devoted to thoughtful food production, providing an excellent opportunity for those who value growing their own fruits and vegetables. The productive garden area includes organized raised beds, gravel pathways and a charming wooden pergola marking the garden entrance, plus room for a compost area and a garden shed/greenhouse. A detached single-car garage and driveway add convenient parking and storage. The main level of the home offers flexibility for a wide range of needs. A spacious family room with fireplace provides a comfortable gathering place, while a third bedroom, full bathroom, & an additional multi-purpose space can adapt easily as a home office, fitness area, or even a fourth bedroom. The additional multi-purpose room is bright, painted a soft green and features a sliding glass door with walk-out access to the backyard—ideal for indoor-outdoor living—along with recessed lighting and easy-care flooring. With its own entrance & walk-out access to the backyard, this level is well-suited to extended family living or the creation of a secondary suite. Upstairs, the home opens to bright, inviting living spaces. The living room, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace with a classic white mantel, flows into a dining area that connects seamlessly with the kitchen. Original hardwood floors and large picture windows frame leafy outlooks and bring abundant natural light into these rooms. From here, step out onto a large, sunny deck that feels like an extension of the living space—perfect for morning coffee, evening meals, or simply relaxing under the open sky. Overlooking the garden & a stately 150-year-old apple tree, the deck offers a truly special spot to appreciate the unique character of the property and to enjoy glimpses of the nearby coastline. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the upper level, including a generous primary suite. Throughout, large windows capture natural light and leafy outlooks, enhancing the sense of space and connection to the outdoors. Located just moments from the University of Victoria, as well as parks, beaches, and highly regarded schools, this property offers both convenience and lifestyle in one of Gordon Head’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Aerial photos highlight the quiet street, mature tree canopy, and proximity to amenities. It is a home where practicality meets charm—ready to welcome its next chapter. (id:1945)
