Gently sloping, large waterfront lot located on the peaceful Gorge Waterway in Esquimalt's Kinsmen Park neighbourhood! At just under 0.5 acre this property has great potential for subdivision into two lots, development through the Provincial SSMUH regulations or by updating the existing single-family home. Located on a quiet lane, the property enjoys privacy and serene northerly views across the Gorge while an existing dock provides easy access for paddling on the Gorge. The current home offers both a main floor or upper floor primary bedroom with ensuite bathrooms, spacious main floor dining & living rooms, and a water view kitchen with booth seating. Downstairs is a large recreation room (or 3rd bedroom with ensuite) as well as a large secondary suite with separate entrance. Ample parking in the double garage, double carport and the driveway. Plenty of storage or workshop space on the lower level. Hurry, this exceptional waterfront property
won’t last long.
