Torquay Drive · Aug 1, 2026 · $4,400/month
A bright, beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath townhome in one of Gordon Head's quietest pockets — yet inside and out, it lives like a single-family home, with an open main floor and a large, fully private backyard of its own. Five minutes to UVic, five minutes to the beach.
The home opens through a welcoming entry into a light-filled open living, dining, and kitchen space with new premium white oak hardwood throughout, large windows, gas fireplace, and heat pumps for heating and cooling.
A cozy sitting nook off the kitchen opens through French doors to a patio and wraparound yard that backs directly onto the Torquay soccer fields — no rear neighbours, open green space, and remarkable privacy.
Off the sitting nook, a private patio opens to the fenced backyard — a generous, sunny outdoor space that's rare for a townhome. The patio includes a new sectional, and the lawn is mowed weekly by the strata gardeners.
New stainless steel appliances including Miele dishwasher, electric range, hood fan, stainless French-door fridge. A filtered water tap (new filter) and garburator at the sink. Open-concept flow from kitchen through breakfast bar into the dining nook and sitting area. Also features a separate in-suite laundry room with new front-loading washer and dryer.
Primary bedroom with king bed, walkthrough closet, and 3-piece ensuite. Second bedroom with a queen bed. Third bedroom with a twin bed and desk.
1,235 sq ft on one floor — open-plan living/dining/kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an eating area. Tucked into a mature, quiet strata complex steps from the Torquay sports fields, with Mt. Doug Park / PKOLS rising behind.
Designed for visiting faculty, relocating professionals, or families in transition who want to land in Victoria without the logistics of furniture, kitchen setup, or moving trucks.
