SOLD
Nestled amongst mature, Japanese-inspired landscaping and framed by a parkland backdrop, this architecturally stunning home is situated on a 0.25-acre lot in one of Departure Bay’s most sought-after locations. Within walking distance to the ferry, seaplanes, and all amenities, the new owners will also appreciate the proximity to the Beach Estate Park at the rear of the home creating a private backyard oasis surrounded by nature. The Park’s 0.9 km trail which follows the meandering Northfield Creek down to the beach near the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal offers a quintessential west coast experience right on your doorstep while the 679 sqft of patio and deck space provide the ideal opportunity to be at one with nature without leaving your yard.
The home’s single-story design, with three bedrooms plus a loft and two bathrooms, promotes convenience and accessibility while vaulted ceilings and an abundance of windows and skylights create a spacious and airy feel and bathe the 1,491 sqft of living space in natural light.
An open concept living/dining area provides comfortable and functional living space along with easy access to the completely private rear patio and deck, an extension of the living space, and the perfect place to unwind on a warm afternoon with the peace and quiet broken only by the sounds of the birds in the surrounding trees or by a ferry announcing its departure. The bright kitchen features a wall of windows, open shelves, and ample cabinet space with an island complete with an eating bar as well as access to the laundry room which also serves as a mudroom with convenient passage to and from the carport.
Down the hall from the main living space, you will find the primary bedroom with a wall of closets and a 3-piece ensuite featuring a sunken California bathtub set amid floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a private garden, bringing the outside in and adding a spa-like quality to bath night. The second bedroom and 3-piece main bathroom are mere steps away, while a third bedroom just off the main entrance would serve well as a den or an office with access to the loft above.
With a carport and a 236 sqft unfinished room below, all your storage needs will be met, while recent updates to the roof and skylights along with the addition of a high-efficiency gas furnace, following a complete renovation in the ‘90s led by the renowned architect Rudy Kovacs, have kept this well-loved home in good working order.
If you are looking for a little piece of paradise in a tranquil setting close to recreation, transportation, and amenities look no further as this home will not disappoint.
