Welcome to Ashton House. Built in 1898 this heritage home was designed by famed English architect, Francis Rattenbury, for Sir Lyman Duff, a future Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. A major renovation in 2019 has resulted in a seamless blend of old-world charm, contemporary luxury, and modern conveniences. It features 7 fireplaces, antique Egyptian chandeliers, coffered ceilings, intricate moldings, four generous bedrooms and four bathrooms. The third floor is a self-contained bedroom, bathroom, living room combination ideal for guests, in-laws, or children. Step outside the sophisticated primary and onto a grand balcony overlooking the stunning backyard.This wide fronted home is extremely bright and perfectly private with a highly functional floor plan in the heart of the city, steps away from the vibrant shops of Oak Bay. The impeccably landscaped grounds showcase a 52-foot lap pool and poured in place hot tub, and a rose-trellis pergola.With its timeless beauty, impeccable craftsmanship and prime location, this is a rare opportunity to own a heritage home that is a true testament to the enduring allure of Victoria’s architectural heritage. This is truly a work of art that must be seen to be believed.

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.

"Peter was fantastic to work with! He helped my parents and I through the process of finding the right home for our needs. I so appreciated the time and effort he put in. I will absolutely work with him again in the future and would recommend him to friends!" Tania
