WHAT B.C. IS FAMOUS FOR — OCEAN FRONT!
MLS #288861
If you left the cold area of Canada to come to the “warm lands”, this is what you probably had in mind. A brandnew, West-Coast design, quality home at an affordable price. HONDA DID IT FOR CARS AND THIS DOES IT FOR HOMES. The all-western, Red Cedar exterior is maintenance-free, as is the yard which has been left as nature landscaped it. Down a funky little road that is home to eagles, otters, seals, swans, deer (and some world-class artists), this home has a contemporary look from the road but all-glass walls on the ocean side with a panoramic view (East, North and West). It’s called the “wow” wall as that is what everybody says when they see it. 3 bedrooms, den, exercise room, sauna, cathedral ceiling great room, West Coast wood cabinets, granite-like counters, center island with eating bar. The lower level is for the pool table, theatre room, or private entrance 1 bedroom suite with a glass wall for the view (a small elevator is available for present or future disability). Share in the private wharf for mooring your fishing skiff. 10 year new home warranty.
