Step back in time and imagine a gentler past with farm fields and stream vistas set against a sunset backdrop, and the famous daffodil fields in Saanichton, BC. Picture all manner of birds from Hummingbirds, Quails, Swans to Cooper Hawks who may call this perfect little ecosystem home. This was the proud past of the Raymond Pope House, built c. 1914, and the prouder Present… now relocated with a new occupancy permit 2003. The best of both worlds; we have the first-growth timbers, and wood floors and doors of the almost Georgian residence, married with the convenience of 2011 building codes which include a new foundation, wiring and plumbing! And best of all – a legal one-bedroom suite! The ceilings are high, and the location is dreamy… sun pours into the windows of the large kitchen and dining and catches on the chandelier in the elegant dining room large enough for a massive table for twenty. The Modern conveniences of this 5 bed, 3 bath home are many. The spacious living room enjoys enough room to accommodate a grand piano for entertaining, and natural gas feeds the Fireplace and Chef’s cooktop in the main Kitchen for ease of use. The Den with its 3 pc. bath would be a perfect main level bedroom if desired. Above, we have a glorious Attic space bursting with potential for a designer ensuite or adjacent Primary bedroom space… the possibilities are endless! Below, a Legal 1 Bedroom Suite, and full-height workspace also brimming with opportunity. This home is really fantastic! Not only do you have the ultimate Country fantasy come true, but a beautiful marriage of old and new, in a diamond of a setting, close to all nature of amenities in the peaceful village of Central Saanich! Called Central for a reason, this community is 15 minutes practically to anywhere… downtown Victoria, sweet Sidney, and all of the wonderful parks, farms, beaches, and amenities of Saanichton and beyond that you can dream of! … See it Soon!
