General overview
Our house is in the Uplands area of Oak Bay: an area with lovely gardens, lots of deer and a wonderful location - close to beaches, Oak Bay Avenue and downtown Victoria. Our street is one of the quietest in the area, with very little through-traffic, but a bus stop conveniently located at the end of the road.
Oak Bay is a picturesque suburban community on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, just a short drive away from Victoria. It is a small district home to just under 20,000 residents with a waterfront setting that gives it an incredibly beautiful and quaint look. It is an affluent area with golf and country clubs best-known for Oak Bay Avenue, the town’s central avenue with great eats, and a thriving art community.
Our apartment is part of our main home, but completely separate and with its own front door. We built our house new 3 years ago, but the apartment has not been used until this Summer, so all is new.
This is available for non-sim swaps, as it is a separate apartment/suite and not part of our main living area in our home.
The space
The apartment is new and entirely self-contained and very private. There is a separate entrance, very well equipped kitchen, lounge/sitting area with television, one bedroom with a queen bed, a comfortable double sofa bed in the sitting area, and a bathroom with tub/shower .
Guest access
One flight of stairs leads up to the apartment.
Notes
This is a non-smoking, pet-free apartment. (We do have pets, and you may see our two cats wandering around, but they aren't allowed in the apartment).
