The Forrester Vista
Property Overview
Discover a spacious, private sanctuary in one of Victoria’s most desirable residential neighborhoods. Situated near the Hillside Mall, Upper Forrester is a bright, beautifully appointed 1,200-square-foot executive home that balances quiet neighborhood charm with exceptional city convenience. Featuring a highly flexible layout and expansive private outdoor living space, this upper-level residence provides an ideal retreat for extended stays, corporate relocations, or family trips.
Designed for comfort and effortless everyday living, the sunlit main floor features pristine hardwood floors, expansive windows, and a cozy main lounge equipped with a classic white brick fireplace hearth. The fully equipped kitchen showcases retro yellow cabinetry, a gas range stove, stainless steel refrigerator, and an adjacent dining nook with a round glass-top table set for four. The home offers a flexible bedroom configuration that can be arranged as either a 2- or 3-bedroom setup: Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 each feature premium Queen beds, while Bedroom 3 offers a Queen bed plus a Single bed—ideal for children or co-travelers.
The standout feature of the home is the large, private rear patio deck. Outfitted with a personal BBQ, outdoor dining table, and chairs, it offers a tranquil setting for al fresco dining and relaxing while overlooking the expansive green lawn and raised garden beds below.
Additional amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV, central heating, on-site high-capacity laundry facilities (shared with the quiet basement suite), and two dedicated parking spaces. Positioned just minutes from Hillside Shopping Centre, Thrifty Foods, local parks, and Lansdowne Middle School, you enjoy quiet residential living with quick access to Downtown Victoria and local oceanfront walks.
