WATERFRONT on Cadboro Bay! Walk on an awe-inspiring sandy beach right from your front yard. Watch the clouds bounce across the ocean waves from all the beachfront rooms. First time on the market, this 1950s home exudes the warmth and everyday care of a loving family. Bright sunroom addition looks across the lawn & beach to the ocean beyond the yacht club. Wood burning fireplaces in the den & living room makes choosing the coziest room difficult. The full unfinished basement leaves room for your imagination and renovations. Situated on an almost quarter acre lot (10,454 sqft) between Mystic Pond & Cadboro Bay, just a short jaunt to all amenities including schools, UVIC and transportation routes. This is an idyllic place with mature plants and an enclosed front yard, only steps to beautiful Cadboro Bay Beach. Make your appointment to view now!

3.6 million for a knockdown?

3.6 million for a knockdown? 

Or 3.6 million for a rare beachfront lot in Oak Bay? (with the minor inconvenience of having to demo the existing building).

 

It's pretty standard pricing for Oak Bay waterfront in 2025.

But why would you spend that kind of dough when the climate wackos are telling us it will be underwater in a few years?

2179 Crescent is truly one of the most unique homes on southern Vancouver Island. Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this incredible southwest-facing oceanfront home offers jaw-dropping 270° views, and incredible proximity to the ocean. This modern property is designed for effortless coastal living; the sun-drenched interior features an open-concept great room, wide-plank French oak floors, custom contemporary cabinetry, as well as upscale appliances in the kitchen. Upstairs you’ll find the primary suite which feels like a luxury retreat (with a WI closet and a beautiful ensuite with ocean views from every angle), as well as two additional bedrooms. The walk-out lower level offers an enormous games room, office, and media room providing flexible living. This home is nearly maintenance-free with an entirely zinc exterior, lpe decking, and aluminum railings. With over 160 feet of waterfront, in an ever-desirable corner of the city, this is a spectacular home which can’t be missed.

I'm surprised this ad would have been all the way back in 1912. For that area I would have thought no earlier than the 1920s and probably a bit later still. Considering the year, methinks the view "of the nearby city" was being exaggerated a tad. I suppose a keen eye might have been able to see the legislature dome, the Empress Hotel roofline, and maybe a church spire or two. But it would still be another ~50 years before there were any tall buildings to be seen in James Bay. Even the Ogden Point breakwater and grain elevators hadn't been built yet. Also note that optimistic reference to imminent ferry service.

 There are two homes on the property, the original 1930's home and a waterfront cottage perched right down by the water.
