Just steps from Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary, this inviting Brett Ave home offers privacy, comfort, and flexibility in one of Victoria's most convenient, amenity-rich neighbourhoods. A private, established backyard on a 4,848 sq ft lot creates a peaceful outdoor retreat, with parking for three vehicles and shopping, recreation, and transit close at hand. The Lochside Trail begins at the end of this quiet cul-de-sac for easy walking and biking. The main level features two bedrooms, one bathroom with heated tile floor, an open kitchen and dining area, separate laundry, and a spacious coved-ceiling living room centred on a wood-burning fireplace. Skylights in the dining area and bathroom add ample natural light. The lower level offers a one-bedroom, one-bathroom in-law suite: excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, or additional living space. Recent updates include the kitchen, heat pump, deck, and electrical improvements.

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.
