For those who enjoy the island lifestyle and also want their fair share of city time, North Saanich on Vancouver Island is one of the best locations in British Columbia.

North Saanich is home to both the Victoria International Airport and the Swartz Bay BC Ferries terminal, which provide multiple methods of quick and convenient access to the Lower Mainland (...and beyond).

Now, 1345 Readings Drive, currently on the market for $2,380,000, is offering you a chance to lay roots in this picture-perfect setting. The property is a 15-minute drive away from the airport, a five-minute drive from the ferry terminal, and is also surrounded by the nature that makes Vancouver Island so appealing, with nearby parks including Readings Park, Sumac Park, and Horth Hill Regional Park.

The property sits on an elevated one-acre lot, right along the edge of Readings Park. The Tudor-style home was constructed in 1993 with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3,900 sq. ft of beautiful living space.

Specs

A long and winding paved driveway, surrounded by an abundance of trees and greenery, leads up to the home's entryway. Inside, the main level features a spacious family room at its centre, immediately next to a modern kitchen equipped with an array of stainless steel built-in appliances.

Around the corner waits the formal dining room, followed by a large living room that features a two-way fireplace (shared with the family room). Completing this level is the airy Great Room, perfect for entertaining, the laundry room, and — on the other wing of the home — the primary bedroom, equipped with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, with a den right next door.

Our Favourite Thing

The home was constructed in 1993, but an assortment of modern architectural elements and contemporary finishes bring the abode right into present day. This can be seen in the abundance of glass, the frameless staircase, and the marble countertops, in particular. In short, we're swooning over the beautiful display of balance.

On the upper level you'll find the remaining three bedrooms, with the largest spanning 17' x 17'. Here, everyone can trust in ample room for personal R&R.

On the lower level you'll find ample storage space, plus a two-car garage.

Rounding out this stunning property is a sprawling patio, which waits just outside the family room, and boasts room for an outdoor dining area alongside the hot tub. A few steps away waits the large greenhouse, perfect for those who prefer a home-grown meal. Beyond, you're invited to take in the sprawling garden, surrounded by meticulously landscaped garden plots that were masterfully designed by Don Mann.

This is the island lifestyle at its best — and its most beautiful.
