This exceptionally sunny and private hill-top retreat is on five low-maintenance acres on a quiet cul-de-sac in Rural Saanich just a few minutes from Broadmead Village. The house enjoys expansive views from Mt. Douglas in the east to Mt. Work in the west and is bathed in sunshine all day. It is surrounded by other large, natural properties including fifty acres of protected parkland with many trails, and yet it's within easy reach of shops, restaurants, schools, the ferries, and the airport. In recent years, almost everything has been updated, improved, replaced, or renovated to a high standard and with an eye for detail. Work includes fully ducted heat pumps on both levels, new windows, decks, Hardie siding, steel roofing, hardwood flooring, custom kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room, hot water tank, and two high-efficiency wood-burning fireplaces. The result is a warm and comfortable home which is tasteful, timeless, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient. Several ground floor rooms could be easily adapted as a suite for an aging family member if desired, or used for a home-based business. Outside, there's a double garage, a 1,148 square foot workshop with its own 200 amp supply, a 339 square foot studio/workshop, and various garden and wood sheds. These offer endless opportunities for hobbies, home businesses, classic cars, and other interests. While you hike or bike the trails, shop at the nearby farm stands, or simply relax on one of the many decks and watch the wildlife go by, your kids (or grand kids) will love exploring the natural adventure playground around them. It’s like having a home and a cottage rolled into one! (id:36535)
