Don't be fooled by the address! Built in the 1920s, 5-235 Island Highway is a true character home - the kind with coved ceilings overhead & hardwood underfoot. Today, it sits tucked beneath a canopy of Garry Oaks with modern conveniences such as a new heat pump and furnace, new HWT and updated appliances. Inside, an updated kitchen brings ease while a banquet seating / breakfast nook with storage welcomes the family. The original dining room is versatile and currently serves as a bright home office. The updated main bathroom is meticulously designed. Climb to the top, and you'll find the primary bedroom oasis, a private retreat in the attic, complete with a spa-like ensuite and a walk-in closet. Three balcony areas provide ample space to bathe in the sun, while the irrigated yard is adorn by Garry Oak meadows. Two further bedrooms and a powder room round out the floor plan. Storage is tucked into every sensible seam, right down to a crawl space. Two assigned parking stalls!

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.
