Hidden behind an array of private gates, one of the most luxurious and exquisite estates in Victoria unfolds its beauty. Topping an impressive 3 acres of privately landscaped terrain, this Uplands sanctuary is a one off. Having been built back in 1914, it used to be in need of some restoration. As recently, it has actually received a multi-million dollar renovation.
Located at 3115 Beach Drive, Victoria, in Canada’s British Columbia, the main residence comprises 10,649 square feet of space. It gorgeously and harmoniously blends contemporary ways of living with modern technology and rustic elements. It even boasts hints of medieval and Victorian design. The rooms combine intricate attention to detail and bold elements. The main floor for example provides a functional flow from room to room, each of them a separate character.
The kitchen doesn’t let down as well, featuring rustic country elements and top notch stainless steel Ultraline professional appliances. There’s also a great load of natural feel thanks to the wooden ceiling beams and exposed bricks, alongside custom manufactured wooden cabinetry. A livelier color is supplied by a mixture of one off fixtures and a deep forest green ceramic sink. The focal points here though are the suspended chandeliers, custom pantry doors and the bronze hood range. Between the arched openings there are stalwart pillars, leading towards the formal dining room with its own panoramas of the garden and the ocean.
Just adjacent to the kitchen is the family room, which provides a relaxed atmosphere for a great time alongside your beloved. The lavish living room is quite a staggering place as well, a feast for the senses, boasting with intricate detailing up on the ceiling, a collection of suspended lighting devices and statues, gas fireplace, windows overlooking the nicely trimmed gardens and custom crown moulding. The main level gets completed by laundry facilities and a scholarly office. But this is where the upper level begins, with the bedrooms. The majority of the lot are endowed with en-suites, private balconies and walk-in closets.
There’s also a dramatically impressive master retreat, romantic and exquisite. It sports suspended chandeliers, deep soaker tub, spa-like ensuite with his and hers skins and, of course, hers and his walk-in closets. But by far the most imposing section is the entertainment area, with a games room, temperature controlled wine cellar, an additional room and a superbly endowed, state of the art media room.
Outside lies an additional 1,096 square foot guest house that serves as guest accommodation. It also provides quite a lot of privacy with its stunning interior. The property is placed within a secluded cove and shares more than 700 feet of beachfront, dock that extends to the ocean and 3 islets. There’s also another building on the site providing space for the watercrafts. This grandiose estate in Victoria is now listed for sale at $11.9 million.
