Your New Address: 137 Joseph Street $689,000 - New MLS The Heart of Fairfield Located on one of the quietest Fairfield streets, this beautiful 1912 home has retained the original Arts and Crafts character in the living and DRs that are so sought after. From the beamed ceilings and built in bookcases with the leaded doors, to the character FP and period light fixtures, you get the sense of a bygone era as you enter the home. But this home has modern touches too. The home was renovated extensively in the early 90s, with the addition of the office area/ sunroom at the rear of the home (new basement space under), new drywall on many of the walls and ceilings, recessed lighting, new stucco, marble and tile flooring and the new finishing in the basement level, adding two BRs, a four piece bathroom and the rec room... perfect family space. Two BRs on the main, two BRs in the lower and a bathroom on both levels, with the gas furnace and hot water tank upgraded at that time. And the present owners have just added a new fibreglass-asphalt roof, topping the long list of recent upgrades to this house. Shall we talk about location? One block from the ocean at Ross Bay about four blocks from Fairfield Plaza for shopping, about eight blocks to Beacon Hill Park or Cook Street Village and an easy bike ride to downtown or Oak Bay. And Joseph Street is among the quietest and prettiest streets in Fairfield.

Choosing not only the proper community, but also the right neighbourhood, can have a tremendous impact on your family's happiness and the value of your investment. The first thing many people do when considering a move is drive around various communities gaining a sense of which areas they like. Buyers find out how close the major highways are and if the neighbours keep their yards tidy. Most will make sure they know the location of the closest mall. But what about public transit, colleges, schools, libraries, parks, recreation centres and fire or ambulance stations? Is the local police station close to your prospective neighbourhood? All of these factors can make or break a decision to buy a certain property. Your REALTOR® can provide you with a wealth of general information on different neighbourhoods. For detailed information, it's a good idea to contact the appropriate agency directly.
