Charming character home in one of Victoria's best neighbourhoods. Tucked into the heart of Gonzales and steps from Glenlyon Norfolk School, this beautifully updated home is a short stroll to Gonzales Beach, Oak Bay Village, and the cafés and shops of inner-city Victoria. An amazing family home with a newly added self-contained suite, ideal for multigenerational living or an income helper. A rare laneway runs behind the property with access to a "bunkie," perfect as a home office, studio, or flex space. Inside, 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms are spread across three levels, including a newly developed attic space (6' ceiling height), now a bedroom, rec room and flex space. Further improvements include the new suite with its own breaker panel and washer/dryer, a downstairs bathroom with heated floors, a main kitchen refresh with new appliances and refinished hardwood, plus fresh interior and exterior paint. Outside, a new back fence, sod and front landscaping. Fairfield living at its finest!

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.
