At home in your private park. Architect designed retreat on a stunning 5 acre pastoral property in the Elk Lake region of West Saanich.

The main level is completed by an intimate family room and a formal living room (both with wood fireplaces), a powder room, and the beautiful primary bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Recent updates include oak floors and wool broadloom carpet, 3-ton heat pump, on-demand tankless hot water, natural stone hearth, new lighting, and some new windows. Upstairs are two bedrooms and 3-piece bathroom. Ample two car garage with loft for storage is attached to the laundry room. Bonus: separate studio/workshop outbuilding!
