5715 Old West Saanich Road, West Saanich Saanich

Description

Some homes impress you. This one transports you. Set on 1.88 sun-drenched acres in the heart of rural Saanich, this extraordinary mid-century modern residence feels more like a private European villa than a home just minutes from Elk Lake and Broadmead. At its heart is a spectacular courtyard framed by walls of glass, warm timber beams and mature olive trees. Designed so that all principal rooms open directly onto this stunning outdoor living space, the home blurs the line between indoors and out. Extensively renovated to an exceptional standard, every detail has been thoughtfully reimagined, including the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, heat pump and septic system. Vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, exposed beams and the original river rock fireplace honour the home’s architectural roots while creating bright, sophisticated living spaces. Designed for effortless one-level living, the main residence offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a media room, thoughtfully arranged around the home’s spectacular central courtyard. A defining feature of the design, all principal rooms open directly onto this private outdoor sanctuary, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Framed by walls of glass and surrounded by mature landscaping, the courtyard becomes an extension of the home itself—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of this remarkable setting. Beyond the main residence, a detached wired and plumbed studio provides the ideal space for artists, creatives or a home office, while the powered detached workshop offers endless possibilities. A beautifully appointed Airstream with surrounding private decks creates an unforgettable guest retreat, inspiring workspace or income opportunity. Private, peaceful and unlike anything else on the market, this is a rare legacy property where exceptional design. Properties of this calibre seldom become available. Once it’s gone, there simply won’t be another like it. (id:39198)
