Recent renovations, spacious rooms, sprawling decks, spiral staircase, sculpted-maple flooring and crown moldings create lovely character. What an exceptional property for children, dogs, or a hobby farm; 45 minutes of cleared walking trails will keep you fit. Embrace Country Elegance…Fresh Air and New Dreams close to an Int’l Airport, & Ferries, and truly have it all!

If you take to daydreaming, you may spend time planning your personal oasis, your place of retreat, your home that would give you sheer pleasure. Today we present you with a home where your daydreams can come true. Welcome to Alder Road!

This Tudor-style executive home is set in an extraordinary landscape with water views that will captivate your heart. Amidst 7 acres of cultivated gardens and natural forest stands this distinctive 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom, 4500 sq. ft. home that offers you several “usage scenarios”.

Welcome to Alder Road

You may require a large single-family home. You may desire to use this home as a Bed-and-Breakfast business. With the home’s incredible layout and gorgeous setting, it has already been employed as a successful, top-ranked B&B facility. Perhaps, you need a home to accommodate a multi-generational family, or you are considering rental suites for students. Again this lovely property provides you with all these exceptional options.

Your half-hour drive from Victoria northward up the Saanich Peninsula takes you through West Coast vistas that encompass mountains, forests, farmland and superb ocean scenics. You come to Tatlow Road via West Saanich Road or the Pat Bay Highway. Immediately you are taken by the “countrified character” of the surroundings. As you turn onto Alder Road, there it is…the spectacular view and your new home!

The driveway leads you to spacious parking for up to 7 vehicles. The dwelling reveals warm, dark-and-light taupe colours that blend perfectly with nature’s offerings. Rooflines in multiple configurations and shake-shingling collaborate with deck-and-window detail to create a sense of understated glamour. You love the home’s wood-and-stucco exterior!Up the tiered slate-stone stairway, side-scaped with garden textures and colours and through a wide arching rose arbour.

You note that Alder Road is lined with budding weeping willows. Then, turning into your property, you see the sweeping lawns, tall alders and majestic evergreens. The rock-lined paved roadway welcomes you to your beautiful yard, with its terraced gardens, rock walls, flowers and shrubs all meticulously manicured. And of course there is the extensive pond—Gardner’s Pond—projecting a sense of spaciousness and calm, and the centrepiece of this oasis. Against this exquisite backdrop, the large house speaks with eloquence and style.

Eloquent Landscapes

Entryway Patio

Then you arrive at the large entryway patio, really a portico with triangulated wood roof and slate-stone base. Your well trained eye enjoys the craftsmanship of the newly installed doorway, beautifully designed in wood-warmth, and panelled windows above and along the sides.

What a welcome feeling you get at this entryway! Two lanterns and side-windows bookend the doorway. You see your wicker table-and-chair set at this entryway patio, where you will enjoy a chat with your neighbour over a summer cup of tea.

Stepping Inside

As you enter, you take in the details of this stylish 12-by-7 ft. foyer. The limestone floor inset contrasts tastefully with the oak floors matching the doorway. White crown molding outlines the ceilings. The archway to the right leads to the coat closet and seating for putting on your shoes. One of your lovely paintings will fit perfectly on the wall here next to the window.

To the left, you discover the powder room with its high wainscoting, 24-by-12 in. ceramic floor tiles, modern pedestal sink, and oval mirror with 3-globe light fixture. The window brightens this conveniently located bathroom. Colours here are modern, fresh and bright.

Family Room First

It’s nice to find a home that offers you space that’s both surprising and appropriate. From the well designed entryway, you look through a larger archway that reveals the family room connecting to the kitchen. This 17x15ft. family room distinguishes itself with hand-scraped maple floors and a stately wood-and-marble propane fireplace accenting the gorgeous flooring. The broad mantel will show off some of your prize collectibles. Crown moldings and a large, medallioned ceiling fan-and-light fixture top this comfortable space. Windows with glimpses of rock wall, lawn-and-tree greenery brighten this area.

French patio doors lead out to a tree-house and swing set. You love the feeling of this family room. Turn on the TV, relax in your leather recliner, pour yourself an Innis and Gunn and watch your Canadian team defeat the opposition. How good is that?

Kitchen Connection

So that you’re not left out of the game or conversation, the family room connects with the country-style kitchen. Spacious at 16-by-11 ft., this gourmet kitchen flaunts gorgeous granite countertops, bar-stool seating for 5 at the peninsula and 2 more at the island, and high-end appliances that include 2 Jenn Air ovens, a Wolf 5-burner propane stove-top, and 2 refrigerators. This kitchen was completely renovated in 2006.

Kitchen Features

The warm colour of wood kitchen cabinets accents the country styling. The wood-enclosed stove vent adds prominence, as does the backsplash feature above the range-top. Ceramic-tile floors are kitchen-practical. You love the fact that there is more than enough workspace for your culinary preparations, and more than enough storage space for all kitchen essentials.

The curvy kitchen sink is nice. So is the brightness from pot-lights and the distinctive 3-globe light fixture above the sink. The twin skylights above really stream in the sunlight. Two windows above the sink show off another rock-and-tree masterpiece. Another super feature: a corner cupboard with turnstile holds 3 recycle containers. This kitchen truly fulfills your kitchen daydream!

Divine Dining & Living

You’ve prepared a sumptuous dinner, you’ve invited your family and friends, and you’re anticipating an evening of conversation and laughter and fine wine. So through the kitchen into the separate 15-by-15 ft. dining room which will seat 14 at your country-style table. This large dining room will also accommodate a double buffet-and-hutch set.

The same “sculpted” maple flooring as the family room’s adds to the ambiance, as does the 6-sconce, country-style light fixture above the table. A 3-window view of forest, trail and pond highlights the spaciousness.

Formal Living Room

Panelled-glass French doors lead you to the 18-by-15 ft. formal living room. A standout statement here is the floor-to-ceiling, light-colour-brick, wood fireplace which you will cozy up to on wintry evenings. Flooring is elegant dark-wood maple as in family and dining rooms. White crown moldings line the ceiling. Large corner windows bring pond-views inside. Dimmable pot lights allow just the right lighting.

A door leads out to the sprawling deck that will hold up to 30 partying friends enjoying the fire pit and umbrella if necessary. Dimmable pot lights are also evident on the deck…for evening appies and drinks.

This upper-peninsula home comes replete with quality, practical design elements to satisfy any home owner. The master-suite mix offers you beautiful wood floors, crown molding and spaciousness you’ll really appreciate. Three corner windows reveal front-yard lawns and Alder Road weeping willows. A windowed doorway leads out onto a large 15-by-6 ft. deck exclusive to the master.

Again glass panels offer uninhibited views as you enjoy your morning deck-side coffee. On the opposite side of this beautiful bedroom, a similar doorway leads onto the side deck which showcases your hot-tub for 8, overshadowed by a retractable awning. You’ll love the sunsets, enjoy the Big Dipper and North Star. Whatever the weather, evenings with friends and family will never be the same again.Every master requires a deep walk-in closet, with the versatility of adjustable storage configurations. The depth of this closet will house all your fine fashions. Also the far end gives you space for a sitting/vanity area beneath the glow of a globular chandelier.

The Master Mix

The en-suite makes a bold statement with its white “mod-vintage” vanity, trendy mirror and modern sink-faucet set. The large tiled shower enclosure features a back-side mosaic and hand-held plus mounted shower heads. Pot lights, two lights fixtures above the vanity and a fog-glass window light up the interior. Floors are tiled with subtle-grey 24-by-12 in. ceramic tiles. You love what this master suite offers!

Hallway Revelations

As you leave the living room, you enter a wide hallway with solid-oak flooring, crown moldings and unique, elevated wainscoting. The first door on the left takes you into a bright 18 x 11 ft. bedroom with its generous windows overlooking gorgeous pond views. The closet is roomy; the floors are hardwood. A glassed doorway leads out to the north-facing deck-and-hot-tub. This extensive deck continues through to the entire west side of the house.

Then you espy the spa-like, Jack-and-Jill bathroom with its large, cool-design vanity and double sinks. You’re enamoured by the stylish dual mirrors with triple-light fixture above each mirror. A spacious glass-door shower enclosure with hand-held and fixed shower heads is welcome as is the ceramic-tile floor. But an intriguing revelation in this bathroom! An easily retractable ladder above reveals a massive, stand-up attic storage area with floor and tiered shelving. Here you will hide all your Christmas ornaments plus a host of other household necessities that you may require on occasion.

A second doorway conveniently leads you out of the bathroom into the hallway.Down the hallway and on the right you come to a door connecting to the kitchen. You pass the beautiful staircase leading to the lower level.

The third bedroom on the upper level is next, at the end of the hallway. This room could also be utilized as an excellent home-office space, or den or study. A lovely corner bay window with window seat below marks the area. Another window adds to the brightness and views of the front yard. Cherry hardwood floors, a chandelier and spacious mirrored closet complete the picture. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom is located directly across.

The Third Bedroom

Spiral Staircase Elegance

Brightness fills the end of the hallway and staircase as you admire the apex of a sublime skylight. Architecturally this skylight soars upward, articulated with massive triangular shapes. Ambitious and effective!

You’ve been celebrating the upper-level inspirations of this beautiful home. Then you arrive at the artfully elegant spiral staircase across from the entryway, leading you to the 2,000 ft2 lower level. Blanched-oak tread-and-railing give the spiral a chic modern look. The “vintage-mod” light fixture above adds character. You descend the spiral and come to the lower-level foyer…expansive at 15 x 13 ft.

Suite Level Options

To the left of the spiral staircase, a short hallway leads you to the separate 3-bedroom suite, superbly configured for B&B, for extended family, for family/student rental or for your own family requirements. The options are exceptional. At the end of the hallway, a large 21 x 15 ft. rec room offers numerous possibilities for furniture arrangements, comfort and relaxation, visiting and TV viewing. Corner windows maximize pond-and-forest views.

The floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with propane insert adds comfort year-round. Floor is carpeted. The private entrance to the suite features a “full-glass” door with a beautiful view of the pond-side trail and forest. This sprawling covered patio with luxurious stuffed-seating will provide guests or family with a lovely area for relaxation and conversation. Common walls have been sound-deadened. You walk through the art-glass-panel doorway.

First left you encounter a spacious 15 x 12 ft. bedroom with ensuite, angular wall, crown moldings and carpeted floor. “Vintage-flavoured” sconce lighting and ceiling fixture light up this interior. Through a doorway to the right, you enter the suite’s largest bedroom at 18-by-11 ft. This lovely room has its own private entrance to covered patio area overlooking the pond and gorgeous gardens. Wheel-chair access is easy to this room, if necessary. This single bedroom makes a great rental for student or stewardess (a flight attendant has rented it in the past). The closet is generous, floor is carpeted. Sunlight and views stream into the room via the glassed patio door and 2 additional windows.

More, More, More

The 4-piece ensuite is distinguished by “rubbed terra cotta”, ceramic floor tiling. This ensuite also opens to the hallway.

There is another 4-piece ensuite, this time with heated, ceramic-tile floor, large soaker tub with wood-feature walls, and large shower enclosure. Also highlighted in this bathroom is the white vanity with tile-top, large mirror and triple-light fixture. The fog-glass window adds brightness.

You enter the suite’s third bedroom via the rec room. This 15-by-12 ft. room is also carpeted, and brightened by 2 large windows. The 3-piece ensuite displays a pedestal sink, ornate light fixture and curved corner shower.

UTILITY, LAUNDRY, STORAGE, GARAGEAt the far right of the staircase, you discover a multi-purposed utility room. Located here is the hot-water tank and sprinkler-system reservoir. Upper-and-lower kitchen cabinets serve as additional pantry space for the B & B, or home in general. Next to the utility room, you find the laundry room with its Maytag washer and dryer, various storage cabinets and shelving, hanging racks and laundry sink. A large window with view of greenery brightens the room. To the right, another storage area houses the central vac system and tons of shelving for miscellaneous storage.Adjacent to the laundry room, a hallway takes you to the driveway at the front of the house. This hallway also functions as a mudroom/entryway. Convenience is amplified with the 2-piece bathroom at the top of the hallway and next to the garage.The large double garage boasts fully insulated, new steel doors (beautiful outside) with “quiet-run” openers. Storage shelving is abundant. Space is great for whatever the projects…even for vehicle storage. As you re-enter the foyer, to the immediate left of the staircase you discover a linen closet. Directly across is the HVAC furnace installation.

Every home has a specific identity, indoors and outdoors. This beautiful, executive country home’s interior offers you numerous, superb design features. But the outdoor setting is exquisite, colourful and layered with its ever changing garden and pond views, and the surroundings are typically green year-round.

Every month the gardens show off something new. You’ll love the old rose arbour, the lilies, poppies, snow drops, lily-of-the-valley, irises, lilacs, heather, jasmine, and lace-cap hydrangeas. Terraced flower/shrub beds are gorgeous, as is the 3-terrace pool feature with fountain.

The Great Outdoors

The trees complement the floral beauty: umbrella tree, willows, maples, Japanese maples and cherry blossoms along the roadway. Gardner’s Pond is the focal point of this incredible property. And ninety-eight per cent of this pond lies on this property. Historically this pond was a peat bog mined for Butchart Garden usage.

Because it is a spring-fed pond (always cold), it never completely dries out. In fact, it stands as the headwaters for Chalet Creek.You can kayak the pond. In the summer the pond partly dries up, enabling you to walk out to the island and bridge, where kids can have a jolly old time bringing back days of piracy and pillage. As you walk the pond’s periphery, the clear-cut edges along the gravel trail reveal multi-scenics. Natural offerings also include frog symphonies, tree frogs, swallows, many hummingbirds and ducks. The nestings bring you springtime ducklings on your waters. You love the 450 ft. of newly built split-rail fencing bordering the pond. There’s even a rustic bench for your sit-down.

A multiplicity of features makes this home so very special:1. There is a sense of peace and quiet here…

really an “Aldergrove Retreat”;2. It’s an exceptional property for children, for

dogs, and even a “tiny-farm” for chickens or baby goats. One acre is completely enclosed for yard animals. And the kids will love the tree-house and swing set, while adults take to the lawns for croquet and badminton.

3. Deck space is best ever for sprawling parties of up to 30. The fire-pit and hot-tub add to the “party-house” flavours.

4. Forty-five minutes of cleared walking trails interconnect with neighbouring property trails, offering you plenty of get-fit-in-nature opportunities.

5. Over the years, this home has been renovated in various ways, including the 2015 paint-and-stucco, vinyl exterior coating on the house.

6. The decks have been redone with topless-glass side-panels to give unhindered views of the property;

7. Telus fibre-optics give you super WiFi coverage.

8. The house boasts a fire-supplement sprinkler system throughout, new CO and smoke detectors, and LED emergency lights.

9. Central-vac outlets and motion sensors are installed in key areas;

10. The lower level and garage each give you 200-amp electrical service;

11. The septic system has been newly revamped with top-of-the-line installations;

12. And, should you desire to bring in LNG gas into your home, it’s available in the area.
