The inspirational design of this South Oak Bay family home is only surpassed by its breathtaking vistas. 285 King George Terrace’s understated street presence belies what waits within – a modern and bright masterpiece. The gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Olympic mountain range and Trial Islands to the south of Vancouver Island. This architect inspired home boasts both a grand entertainment space but also suits comfortable family living. You will be pleased that the 5700 sf home has all your living needs on the main level: an ultra- contemporary kitchen will spark your inner gourmand; a media room and library will supply endless entertainment and a personal gym/ flex room could be your room of self discovery. The grand master bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet, a five-piece ensuite and its own east- facing balcony looking over McNeill Bay. The 2nd upstairs bedroom, also with full ensuite has the laundry room close by. Both bedrooms are found just off the main hallway with its high ceilings and generous skylights. Be prepared for a treat - when the light casts itself inwards at midday, a surprise of poetic wonder awaits. The remaining two downstairs bedrooms are amply sized & come with their own ensuites which can accommodate diverse living configurations. The lower level has a separate private entrance which could allow families and helpers to enjoy their own space - the possibilities are endless. Follow the sun as it arcs over the house, from the eastern sunrise to western sunsets. This wonderful home invites cozy books in front of the grand fireplace in winter; in the summer, open your patio doors and let the warm ocean breeze rejuvenate your senses. Completing this amazing home is the huge 3 car garage and low care yard. The location, close to excellent schools, shopping, health services & downtown Victoria is unsurpassed. Rest assured, you will not be afraid to walk, hike or cycle from your front door, knowing a soothing hot tub awaits your return

About

Peter has always been a believer in the life-enhancing aspects of property ownership. He embraces this, not just in terms of its role in creating financial security and a legacy for our children, but in the grounding and transformational aspects of owning one’s home and having a family nest to feather. This long-standing belief and almost 40 years of experience investing in real estate, has inspired Peter to join his colleagues at Pemberton Holmes in connecting people to place. Your place. 
As Peter says, “home is a shelter for dreams.”

Peter lives on Salt Spring Island where he is raising two teenagers with his wife Lynda. For many years Peter co-owned and operated Salt Spring Kayak and Cycle. Peter is grateful to have made Salt Spring Island his home for more than 35 years. He is past president of the Chamber of Commerce and founding Director of the Salt Spring Institute for Sustainability, Education and Action. With a degree in Art History he is a practicing artist and the past president of the Salt Spring Gallery. He looks forward to engaging with you in the art of the possible when it comes to your real estate hopes and dreams.

Testimonial:
"I want to take this opportunity to express my admiration for, trust in, and appreciation of Peter Allan. My situation was unique dealing with my parents both 94 years of age. Peter is a true professional and a genuinely down-to-earth nice guy. To be compassionate is not just to tell someone that you care, but also to show them that you care by being there before they even are asked, and Peter did just that. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better Realtor. Peter thank you!" Neil M.
