Location: 2654 Fernwood Road, Victoria, British Columbia

Year Built: 1912

From the agent: "Built in 1912, 2654 Fernwood Road is an anomaly. The home reimagined by Scott & Scott Architects of Vancouver received a complete net-zero retrofit by Frontera Homes. This is an all-electric home. All of the mechanical systems, insulation, roof, windows, plumbing, electrical service, and wiring are new, including a dual-zone Mitsubishi heat pump, Rheem heat pump water heater, Zender HRV, Stûv low-emission wood stove, Veridian solar panel system, and triple-pane Loewen windows. The house generates 110% of the power it uses—putting energy back into the grid."
The home’s blue-painted facade pops against the crisp white exterior trim.
