Wide open spaces here in beautiful Sooke! This well built, updated, large family home is set on a huge, mostly level, nearly 2/3 acre lot directly across from John Muir Elementary, a short stroll to Ella Beach, and just 3 km from the centre of town. With 2400 sq ft of finished space, 3 bedrooms and an office (or 4th bedroom, it's big enough) and 2 bathrooms, plenty of open recreation space, 3 decks, loads of storage, and more, this home ticks a lot of your boxes! Basement offers suite potential with separate entrance. Originally built in 1964, it's been updated over the years: heat pump (just serviced), new roof, new perimeter drains, new stove, fresh paint, updated bathrooms, new pantry, and more! The huge lot is zoned R-1 and there is subdivision or development potential (inquire with District of Sooke for more details), or build that dream shop/carriage house. There are ocean glimpses from the front of the house and the deck and beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains.
