A rare opportunity to own a piece of Sidney history in one of its most sought-after seaside neighbourhoods. Built in 1913 as a Sears Home, this charming residence is a wonderful example of an era when Sears offered house plans and home-building packages, giving homeowners access to thoughtfully designed homes that have since become treasured pieces of early 20th-century architecture. More than a century later, this special home retains the warmth & character of its past while incorporating thoughtful updates for comfortable modern living. Inside, natural light pours through the many windows, including updated triple-pane windows, while warm fir floors, a cozy gas fireplace & French doors add to the home's inviting character. The main level offers an open living plan, updated kitchen & appliances, powder room & convenient laundry. Upstairs are 2 spacious bedrooms with new carpeting and a 4-piece bathroom with a skylight. Step through the French doors to a private backyard that enjoys both east & south exposure—perfect for morning coffee, sunny afternoons, gardening & outdoor entertaining. Mature landscaping adds to the sense of privacy, while the 12'x16' workshop with power offers wonderful flexibility as an artist's studio, home office, hobby space or workshop. A long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking with room for additional vehicles or an RV, then there’s the location, Just steps from the natural beauty of Roberts Bay & surrounded by beaches, this is a neighbourhood where morning shoreline walks can become part of everyday life. When you want shops, cafés, restaurants or Sidney’s waterfront, downtown is an easy, level walk from home. Character, history, privacy & an exceptional walkable seaside lifestyle come together in a property that is truly something special.

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.
