Wonderful executive residence, or the perfect place to retire. This immaculate home is located on a very quiet cul-de-sac in Dean Park Estates backing onto John Dean Provincial Park. This one-level 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rancher has it all. A flowing layout welcomes you with gleaming hardwood floors and elegantly appointed rooms. The combined living and formal dining room enjoy a gas fireplace glow, echoed by a second gas fireplace in the hub of the home, the spectacular family room. Classic white kitchen with generous counter space, large skylight, and island eat-up bar area. This gourmet scene shares space with the bright sky-lit family room with high ceilings and over size windows overlooking a private forest setting framed by terraced gardens. The primary bedroom is spacious and features a full ensuite with soaker tub and walk-in shower, large walk-in closet and a very private south facing patio. There is a bonus flex room that can be converted to many uses: hobbies, home office, exercise room, or a recreation room. A central vacuum system, underground sprinkler system and HRV system keeps the home healthy and efficient. Hiking Trails, Kelset Elementary School, Golf, Panorama Leisure Centre, McTavish Art Academy, The Roost Bakery & Café are all nearby. Just a short drive away is the friendly community of Sidney by the sea, and the quaint village of Saanichton. This home is one of a kind! Don’t delay!

About

Andrew Hobbs*

Andrew is an exceptionally well-versed Realtor, having helped over 250 clients purchase and sell properties and real estate investments, including condos, townhomes, houses, duplexes, multi-plexes, commercial strata, and even one hobby farm! He has facilitated condo sales in almost every prominent building in downtown Victoria and the surrounding area. Andrew has been an MLS Award winner since 2009, and an MLS Gold and Silver Award winner from 2010 until present

Besides being a Realtor, Andrew is also a certified French teacher and chess guru. He taught high school English in Paris from 1997-1998 and then, after moving to Taiwan to study Mandarin in 1999, he opened and ran a chess school in Taiwan from 2003-2008. (It’s still open and running today!)

Andrew and his wife Shu-Hui have two children, Jasmine and Joshua, and together, they enjoy camping, hiking, and cycling all over Vancouver Island. He still enjoys teaching languages, chess, and tennis, but most of his efforts are spent on teaching his kids, but he has taught (and will in the future) volunteer chess classes at Oaklands.

Since 2009, the Hobbs family has sponsored a boy name Abel in Malawi through SOS Children’s Villages. Over the course of his time as a Realtor, Andrew has donated to BC Cancer Foundation and their Ride to Conquer Cancer, MS Society of Canada, Operation Smile, Canadian Mental Health Association (Ride, Don’t Hide), and Alberta Fires Relief.
