2623 Queenswood Dr, Saanich
SE Queenswood · Single Family Residence · MLS® 1017667 · Listed Oct 23, 2025
A hidden Queenswood sanctuary on 1.8 fenced acres, reimagined in 2015 by Canadian/Danish architect Chris Foyd for a serene Scandinavian, resort-style life. On a street locals call the 'Uplands for introverts,' this essentially one-level home is bright and airy, anchored by a skylit primary bedroom where you can fall asleep under the stars. The chef’s kitchen showcases Spanish Neolith counters & Miele appliances, including a steam oven, two dishwashers, plus generous storage. Year-round comfort comes from a heat pump/AC, added insulation, Euroline tilt-turn windows, a gas fireplace, and a Jøtul wood stove. Outdoors, white-slate terraces & cedar decks flow into a forest garden with hundreds of rhododendrons & Japanese maples framed by Douglas fir, arbutus, and Garry oak. An insulated/heated 10×10m garage & guest house add flexibility. Steps to the ocean, a stroll to Pepper’s Foods, and close to UVic and top schools. Exceptional privacy and additional suite potential.
