Introducing the iconic Book Lovers House—one of Sidney Island’s most exceptional waterfront residences and incredible value for a home of this architectural calibre. Designed by Blue Sky Architecture, this 2,300sf custom home sits on a sun-drenched 1.2-acre point with panoramic exposure and all-day light. Inspired by the shoreline and solar orientation, the home & gardens form an elegant oval plan around a sheltered, sun-filled courtyard. The single-level residence offers 3 beds + den, 2 baths, plus flexible guest, studio and storage spaces. Mature forest provides exceptional privacy, with solar power, well, new generator and beach access. Island amenities include private marina, airstrip, sandy beaches & walking trails, surrounded by expansive common lands roughly the combined size of Stanley Park and Central Park—shared by just 111 owners. The neighbouring 1.08-acre lot with well and septic is also available, offering an excellent opportunity to acquire the full 2.28-acre estate.

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.
