Description

If you are looking for that special ocean view home in the amazing seaside community of Cowichan Bay for a price you can afford then you just found it! This funky circa 1967 main level entry rancher with full walk out basement home is ready for you to fix up to suit your tastes and build equity as you do it. With 3 bedrooms plus den, 2 ½ bathrooms in 2,961 sq.ft. of living space, this home would suit a variety of lifestyles from first time home buyers and families to retirees and the .36 acre corner lot offers a sense of privacy in a nice quiet residential neighbourhood that’s within an easy walk of all of the amenities of the bay and Bench Elementary School too. The heavy beamed and open vaulted ceiling with huge view filled picture windows you see as you enter the home is impressive. There’s also a handsome feature fireplace with woodburning insert and a big, covered deck off the dining room invites you outdoors to enjoy those amazing views and sunsets. Other features include a country kitchen, recently renovated ensuite, freshly painted exterior, double garage, RV parking, loads of storage, hot water heating and a spacious basement family room. While the home does need some updating and TLC therein lies the opportunity. For those with the vision and ability to take it to the next level, opportunity knocks! (id:63159)

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
