Positioned in one of James Bay’s most livable residential pockets, this modern two-bedroom, two-bath residence at The Duet combines clarity of design with a location that balances walkability, calm, and long-term comfort. Built in 2014 by Chard Developments, the building is set just far enough from downtown to avoid its intensity, while remaining close to Beacon Hill Park, James Bay Village, Dallas Road’s waterfront paths, and the Inner Harbour. The west-facing suite spans approximately 905 sq ft and is notably bright, with open living and dining areas that feel easy and efficient rather than oversized. Large windows look out to low-rise housing, trees, and shared green space, bringing a sense of openness without exposure to busy streets. The layout separates the bedrooms, offering real privacy for daily life or guests. The primary bedroom features a walkthrough closet and its own ensuite, while the second bedroom connects to a cheater ensuite accessible from the hallway, making it ideal as a guest room, office, or shared space. The balcony is well sized for lounging or container gardening, extending the living area outward. The Duet is known for its thoughtful amenities, including secure underground parking, dedicated storage, bike facilities, a dog wash station, and a large shared rooftop patio equipped with seating and dual BBQs, an ideal setting for relaxed evenings without maintenance demands. This is a home that suits those who want quality construction, a reputable building, and a neighbourhood that supports walking and cycling, all without giving up a sense of order and ease near Victoria’s most established urban edges.

About
Andrew Hobbs*
Andrew is an exceptionally well-versed Realtor, having helped over 250 clients purchase and sell properties and real estate investments, including condos, townhomes, houses, duplexes, multi-plexes, commercial strata, and even one hobby farm! He has facilitated condo sales in almost every prominent building in downtown Victoria and the surrounding area. Andrew has been an MLS Award winner since 2009, and an MLS Gold and Silver Award winner from 2010 until present
Besides being a Realtor, Andrew is also a certified French teacher and chess guru. He taught high school English in Paris from 1997-1998 and then, after moving to Taiwan to study Mandarin in 1999, he opened and ran a chess school in Taiwan from 2003-2008. (It’s still open and running today!)
Andrew and his wife Shu-Hui have two children, Jasmine and Joshua, and together, they enjoy camping, hiking, and cycling all over Vancouver Island. He still enjoys teaching languages, chess, and tennis, but most of his efforts are spent on teaching his kids, but he has taught (and will in the future) volunteer chess classes at Oaklands.
Since 2009, the Hobbs family has sponsored a boy name Abel in Malawi through SOS Children’s Villages. Over the course of his time as a Realtor, Andrew has donated to BC Cancer Foundation and their Ride to Conquer Cancer, MS Society of Canada, Operation Smile, Canadian Mental Health Association (Ride, Don’t Hide), and Alberta Fires Relief.
