How often does an untouched 1960s time capsule hit the market in Victoria, BC? This one just did. Set on a prominent corner lot in Oaklands, this mid-century modern residence has kept every defining detail intact: a dramatic cantilevered living room w/ gas fireplace, flat roofline, functional levered windows, and the original diamond-lattice steel stair-wall. No reproduction, no guesswork — the real architecture, still standing, across 2,564 finished sq ft. Inside, the main level delivers a living room w/ a wall of original picture glazing, a dining area under a Herman Miller pendant light, and a kitchen w/ flat-front birch cabinetry, rose-gold hardware, Fisher & Paykel refrigeration, gas range, and dishwasher. Three bedrooms share a main bathroom w/ soaker tub, separate shower, and skylight. A new 14' x 24' custom deck w/ built-in bench seating opens through a gate to the garden below. Then there's the part most listings can't offer: real flexibility. The lower level currently runs as a family room/den, home office nook, storage, laundry, and fully renovated bathroom, alongside a private 1-bedroom suite w/ its own kitchen, gated entry, and laundry — but the layout doesn't stop there. Reconfigure the suite into 2 bedrooms, or open up both levels for true multi-generational living, with each floor keeping its own entry. Mortgage helper, in-law space, or extra room to grow into — this floor plan adapts to what you need. Outside: circular driveway, side yard and RV parking, mature landscaping, and an oversized Mid-Mod storage shed. New sewer and water line (2025), hot water tank (2025), roof (2015), forced-air gas heat, and central vacuum — the big-ticket items are already handled. Walk to Haultain Corners, Tolmie Park, and Oaklands Elementary, w/ downtown Victoria 8 minutes by car. Quiet, established, and genuinely rare — Oaklands, at its best. (id:63385)
