In the heart of James Bay, just behind the BC Legislature and moments from Victoria’s Inner Harbour, this beautifully appointed southeast corner residence offers an ideal blend of contemporary design, everyday convenience and a peaceful neighbourhood setting. Located on the third floor of Capital Park Residences, a boutique five-storey steel and concrete building completed in 2021 by Concert and Jawl Properties, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. Expansive windows on two sides welcome morning and midday sun, while the treetop outlook brings greenery and privacy to the open-concept living and dining areas. Wide-plank oak flooring adds warmth throughout, and a covered balcony is an inviting spot for morning coffee. The kitchen is elegant and practical, with white and warm wood-grain cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, a marble-look waterfall island with seating, and integrated Bosch + frigidaire appliances including an induction cooktop. The bedrooms are well separated, offering flexibility for guests or a home office. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite, and both bathrooms include in-floor heating and large-format porcelain tile. In-suite laundry adds convenience. This home comes with one secure underground parking stall and a storage locker, and the building offers a secure bike storage room. Landscaped courtyards, tranquil water features and pedestrian pathways create a welcoming atmosphere, and residents enjoy a lounge opening onto a generous terrace and a fitness studio. Red Barn Market and the Victoria Public Library are just steps away. Stroll to Beacon Hill Park, Fisherman’s Wharf, the Dallas Road waterfront, the Inner Harbour and downtown’s cafés, shops and restaurants. All the best of James Bay is close at hand, yet home feels tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street.
