Welcome to this charming Oak Bay bungalow, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac beside Bowker Creek. Backing onto parkland, the large 75 x 129' lot offers a peaceful oasis with a fenced garden, koi pond, hot tub, three sheds (one a greenhouse), and landscaped front beds. Inside, this updated 3-bed, 2-bath home features original hardwood, curved archways, and a sunny open kitchen/dining room with eastern exposure and park views. Enjoy cozy evenings by the gas fireplace or step through large patio doors to the spacious deck with serene views. The main floor hosts a large primary bedroom, while the remodeled lower level offers two bedrooms, a new bathroom, family room, and studio space with fresh carpet and vinyl flooring. The converted garage makes an ideal workshop or art studio. Steps from Oak Bay Rec Centre, Oak Bay Ave., beaches, schools and more. Bonus: the generous lot is an excellent candidate for multi-unit development under new zoning rules. A rare blend of charm and potential!

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.
