A Modern 2BR Sanctuary on the Galloping Goose Trail
Property Overview
Welcome to a thoughtfully designed sanctuary where comfort meets productivity. Located in the heart of the Saanich, this bright 2-bedroom walk-out garden suite sits right along the iconic Galloping Goose Trail. Perfectly positioned for those seeking a quiet retreat without sacrificing accessibility, this residence pairs polished, modern interiors with executive productivity features for an extended stay.
Step through your private entrance into an open-concept living area featuring plush, theater-style reclining leather seating—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring or professional commitments. The minimalist kitchen aesthetic is anchored by a vibrant red retro-style refrigerator, custom butcher block countertops, a two-burner cooktop, and a countertop oven setup.
Designed with the remote professional, academic faculty, or student in mind, both bedrooms offer a peaceful environment for rest and focused work. The primary suite features a comfortable Queen-sized bed, rich wood panel accents, and views of the surrounding greenery. The second bedroom is appointed with a cozy Single bed and a dedicated desk workspace with an ergonomic chair and desktop lamp. The spa-like bathroom showcases a modern glass walk-in shower.
Outside, relax on your private outdoor patio equipped with bistro seating, framed by privacy lattice fencing and mature trees. Located just a 5-minute walk from major bus routes (including the #26 route directly to UVic) and seconds from the Galloping Goose trail system, you are 10 minutes from the University of Victoria, fresh produce at The Root Cellar, and shopping at Saanich Centre.
