The home is tucked away in a quiet-yet-convenient location. A 10-minute walk leads to Broadmead Village Shopping Centre, where you can grab some groceries, enjoy a slice at Romeo’s, or pick up a bottle of wine.

While the location is exceptionally convenient, nature is also right at your doorstep. A short drive east takes you to Mount Douglas Park, where you can meander through trails, or soak up some sun at Douglas Beach. Or, a seven-minute drive north takes you to Beaver Lake Regional Park, where you can go swimming, canoeing, or enjoy a picnic on the beach.

Our Favourite Thing

This entire abode has us smitten, but we're particularly taken by the address's outdoor space. The home’s professionally landscaped garden is the ultimate backyard oasis. With an outdoor dining area, lush greenery, and even a separate fire pit, this backyard is perfect for hosting summer gatherings with family and friends.

For those ready for their daily routines to be infused with a sense of airy spaciousness and ample access to blooming nature, this sweet Saanich escape awaits.
