Property Description
A waterfront home with warmth, character and room to savour the view, Across the Harbour enjoys an exceptional setting on Victoria's Inner Harbour. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, it offers 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, over 3,000 sq. ft. of interior living space and more than 3,000 sq. ft. outdoors. A renovated open-concept kitchen forms the heart of the home, while an airy upstairs sunroom invites quiet mornings overlooking the water. Bedrooms with private ensuites offer a welcoming retreat, and a garden studio and caretaker suite add versatility for guests, family or live-in management. Purpose-built as a B&B and operated seasonally as short-term rental accommodation by the current owners, this licensed property offers a turnkey opportunity. As Esquimalt's only property with C-7A mixed-use zoning permitting Tourist Accommodation, it pairs distinctive waterfront living with the flexibility to welcome paying guests or simply enjoy it as home.
