Set in a beautifully treed park like 3.1 acres (1.3 hectares) with trails throughout, seasonal stream and sweeping North East marine views over Heriot Bay, Sutil Channel, Islands and distant mountains.

The residence is set back from the waterfront however; there is an ideal site on a bluff (serviced) for an auxiliary building/studio.

There is a Great room (possible master suite), hobby room/workshop (or possible bedroom or office), an incredible country kitchen/family room, small sitting room, two full bathrooms, and large upper loft master bedroom/studio area. All fittings and appliances would be considered of high-end quality. The great use of various natural wood finishes and unique floor plan plus picture windows, high ceilings,skylights, beams, tile flooring make this a very personalized warm and intimate home. The efficient heating is electric, baseboard and in floor plus two efficient heat stoves. Domestic water is by drilled well and the sewer is by septic system. There is an attached two-car garage, which lends itself to be incorporated into the house.

The very usable oceanfront with rock outcroppings has approximately 300 feet (91 metres) of frontage with a substantial boathouse of 220 square feet (20 square metres) plus a storage loft. There is deep-water moorage with an aquatic lands licence in place - the initial stage of dock ramp piling having been constructed.

Having deep-water moorage and a boathouse at your door is indeed a rare find!
