242 Robert Street, Victoria

What a rare and special find! This 3 floor unit is just minutes from downtown Victoria and only feet from the Ocean. Huntingdon Cottage was built in 1889 then converted to four suites in 1983 winning the Hallmark Society Award of Merit. Yes I said 3 floors! On the main you have a large living/dining room, bed, bath, and kitchen with a ladder leading to the tower. On the first level of the tower you are surrounded by light from five large windows and a door to the veranda. From there you climb a second ladder to the very private and tranquil reading/writing room with built-in daybed; here you are also surrounded by five large windows letting in light and ocean breezes. Truly a remarkable property with onsite laundry and parking.
