the perfect vantage point

1851 Crescent Road Victoria, BC

1851 CRESCENT ROAD SITS AT THE APEX OF GONZALES BAY, Victoria’s finest urban waterfront.

An area entwined in the history of Victoria, the bay was once home to a rum-runner, a bath

house, a tea room and a dance hall. Today this balmy, sandy bay remains full of life, beauty and

intrigue. Sheltered from ocean breezes, it is the perfect spot for kayaking and swimming.

From the road you are presented with a mere glimpse of the property. To fully appreciate the

location you need only step through the custom stainless gates. Once inside you’ll discover

a stunning view across the Juan DeFuca Strait to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State

that very few have the opportunity to experience.

From top to bottom this home is designed to make the most of its location. Start your day with

your favourite cuppa and front-row seats to the daytime maritime activities of passing cruise

ships, sailboats and local craft. End your day in the infinity pool, or sip a glass of wine by the

patio fireplace, while you watch the glowing sunset give way to the twinkling lights of Port

Angeles on the far shore. Then make your way up to roof-top deck for a little star gazing.

And while the vistas are magnificent, the inside won’t disappoint either. The home offers a

generous 4,810 square feet plus an additional 2,341 square feet of outdoor living. Designed by

renowned Victoria architects DeHoog and Keirulf, this home is a breathtaking example of West

Coast Contemporary style. Best practices in architectural design are evident throughout. Solid

construction features include commercial-grade steel with architectural concrete and locally

sourced natural materials. Large overhangs shade the floor-to-ceiling windows to maintain a

comfortable living environment.

Custom maple sliding doors glide elegantly into pre-formed niches in the concrete structure

at the touch of a finger. Floors are a mix of hardwood and terrazzo concrete with in-floor

radiant heat.

1851 Crescent Road was thoughtfully designed to take advantage of this idyllic location. The outdoor spaces have been considered as carefully as the interior. The gas fireplace on the main deck

allows you to extend your enjoyment of this glorious space year-round.

The large kitchen features an integrated

Sub-Zero fridge, a top-of-the-line Wolf

gas stove, double wall oven, Miele steam

and convection microwave, dual drawer

dishwashers and built-in espresso

machine. Clear maple cabinets, with soft

close hardware, are topped with warm,

rustic black marble counters. The large

island accommodates a prep sink, an ice

maker and seating for three.

With its own separate entrance, to

make re-stocking the larder a cinch, the

butler’s pantry offers a Sub-Zero wine

fridge, upright freezer, Miele dishwasher,

wash-up sink and trash compactor.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling cabinets

provide plenty of additional storage.

The main floor of the home features a separate living room with its own fireplace plus a media room for TV viewing without the interference

of streaming sunlight.

A central elevator glides from the bottom to the top of the home for those who may have mobility challenges.

The top floor features a two-piece bathroom, a secluded master retreat and an

expansive study with ocean views and its own private deck.

The master retreat also offers a second private deck on this level. The gracious

bathroom suite is an oasis unto itself. It includes all the must-haves: deep soaker

tub, generous shower with multiple heads, his-and-hers vanities, an individual

toilet cubby, plus a laundry station. And last, but not least the generous walk-

through closet can be accessed from both the bedroom and the bathroom.

From the infinity pool, with its burbling waterfall and private hot tub, to the large wet-bar and

lounge area, the lower level is designed for entertaining. The oxygenated pool, with automated

cover, is efficiently heated with a sophisticated Veissman system. On this level you’ll also find

a laundry/craft room, two bathrooms (one with a steam shower and infrared sauna) plus two

guest rooms with their own private access to a bathroom.

Behind the scenes, high-end technical and mechanical services are contained in an operations

room with its own private coded access. A modern alarm system and locking gates keep your

home secure. The two-car garage features light-panel walls and offers secure private access

to the home.
