Tasha’s 1st day of School at Knute Way House

Having spent almost all of my life growing up in Saanich and now living on the Peninsula for over 17 years, I thought I would blog about what I love and know best about life on the Peninsula. As newlyweds, Bohdan and I purchased our first home in 1989 and spent the next 5 years renovating and learning all about homeownership and what we discovered was hanging wallpaper almost caused our divorce! Our hard work and commitment to each other and to our first home paid off as it allowed us to use our equity to purchase a much larger home in Brentwood Bay.

Here on a dead end street, backing onto Brentwood Elementary, our only daugther Tasha grew up playing hide-n-seek in the school yard, riding bikes through the quiet streets and putting on outdoor plays for the neighbours and parents! Childhood memories and now life-long friends started with living in and being part of an amazing neighbourhood like Brentwood Bay.

For the past 6 years, we have enjoyed the switch to condominium living and wake  up every day enjoying the freedom from home repairs and the flexible lifestyle offered at Brentwood Lane. We don’t have to worry about fighting over wall paper or home renovations anymore but rather planning our next RV adventure, local winery tour or which restaurant to walk to for sunset and ocean view dining!
