    What's special

    A rare opportunity to own one of Victoria’s true architectural treasures, the iconic Frels House, built in 1885 and masterfully reimagined for modern luxury while preserving the irreplaceable character that makes this historic home so extraordinary. Set on a large corner lot in the heart of historic downtown Victoria and within easy walking or biking distance of Riverside Park, this showstopping residence has been completely remodeled from top to bottom, including major systems, while honoring its original craftsmanship. Beautifully restored longleaf pine and red oak hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by reglazed original windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, high ceiling throughout, designer lighting and fixtures, and abundant natural light. The breathtaking kitchen features custom cabinetry, an oversized island, quartz countertops, champagne bronze hardware, recessed lighting, and an impressive walk-in pantry. A thoughtfully created open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, main living area, and second living or game room, complete with a wine and beverage refrigerator for effortless entertaining. The expansive primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, exquisite tilework, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and an enormous custom walk-in closet with built-ins. A downstairs guest suite offers its own beautifully finished en suite bath, while upstairs you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, a gorgeous shared bath, and an enchanting sunroom wrapped in windows—perfect for an office, reading room, playroom, or flex space. Outside, enjoy a massive back deck, fresh sod, professional landscaping, an oversized driveway, two-car covered carport, workshop, and abundant parking. Rich in history, elevated by luxury, and unlike anything else on the market, the Frels House is the downtown Victoria showpiece you’ve been waiting for.
