Welcome to 3160 Exeter Road—an iconic mid-century residence in the heart of Uplands, inspired by an original painting. Spanning 4,693 sq ft, this architectural gem blends 70s charm with timeless design, featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and striking brick and stonework throughout. The custom kitchen impresses with a brick arch over the range and a large island centerpiece. The main living and dining areas boast 12’ ceilings, oversized windows, and seamless flow to a private backyard oasis. Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.724-acre lot, the outdoor retreat offers an expansive patio, lush gardens, a stunning in-ground pool, plus change room and sauna. Thoughtfully laid out with 4 bedrooms, an office, media room, and generous storage, this home offers a rare fusion of retro character and modern function—just minutes from Willows Beach, Uplands Park, and the best of Oak Bay. A true architectural treasure. Fairytale story of a home inspired by local artist Allan W. Edwards (1915–1991) who was a distinguished artist and interior designer from Victoria, British Columbia. After early art training in Toronto, he built an international career in Detroit, New York, California, and Hawaii, notably designing interiors and artwork for major hotels like the Royal Hawaiian and the Caribe Hilton. His inspiration and his painting combined with serendipity of the sellers meeting him by happenstance became this spectacular home. This is truly one that needs to be seen or experienced in person to fully appreciate the history and feeling of this one of one mid century modern in the heart of Uplands. (id:29647)
