Modern Waterfront Sanctuary with Home Office

Property Overview

Immerse yourself in the captivating rhythms of Victoria’s premium working waterfront. Located at 409 Swift Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1V4, the Inner Harbour Retreat offers an exceptional blend of industrial soul and contemporary style. Housed within a premier, secure steel-and-concrete harborfront building, this refined 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence is a true "Walker’s Paradise"—offering executive comfort, a dedicated home office setup, and instant access to the city’s rich history and coastal energy.

The bright, meticulously designed main living area features floor-to-ceiling windows, air conditioning, central heating, a real gas fireplace, television, books, games, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a premium Queen-sized sofa sleeper in the main lounge to easily host extra guests. If you are traveling for business or working remotely, a dedicated, elevated home office space with a desk and chair is fully integrated into the layout for maximum focus. Step out onto the building's spectacular shared rooftop deck, where you can grill on the outdoor community BBQ while taking in panoramic views stretching from the iconic BC Parliament Buildings out to the open ocean.

The gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped with modern cabinetry, cookware, dishes & utensils, dining spices, dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, and a dining area. Sleep in total comfort in the serene primary suite, which features a plush Queen-sized bed and crisp linens provided. Additional in-suite amenities include laundry facilities with a stackable washing machine and dryer, an elevator, hair dryer, iron and board, travel crib, wheelchair accessibility, and essential towels.

Perfectly positioned on the David Foster Harbour Pathway in historic Old Town, you are steps from the historic gates of Chinatown, Market Square, Lower Johnson Street (LoJo), and local coffee houses. Take a scenic walk along the coastal trail to the Inner Harbour terminal, the Fairmont Empress Hotel, and the Parliament Buildings. CheckedIn also manages multiple premium units within this exact complex, making it an ideal choice for corporate teams or extended families who wish to stay close to one another while enjoying individual privacy.
