Description

1689sqft home in the Village of Tahsis, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. This region is popular for its easy access to west coast fishing as well as with outdoor recreation enthusiasts. There is a full-service marina providing moorage and a public boat launch in the village. Tahsis is accessible by gravel road, along the Tree to Sea Drive from Gold River. Situated on a corner, this lot offers good space for parking, garden or boat storage. There is a shed and a Quonset hut on the property. The 1689sqft 2 story home has 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and a bathroom on the upper floor, while the ground level features a one bedroom suite and a large entrance foyer. Both the upper and lower level have baseboard heating with mini splits added recently. The windows throughout the home have been updated in the last five years and the water tank was replaced two years ago. The stairs to the upper level open to the living room and the hallway leading to the bedrooms and bathroom. The dining room is adjacent to the living room and opens into the galley-style kitchen, with ample cabinetry and a large window over the sink for natural light. A second entry leads from the kitchen out to the hallway. The three piece bathroom features a large soaker tub with hand rails for assisted access in and out. The lower suite has an entrance from the main foyer as well as a backdoor to the carport, creating a locked off unit with separate entrance. The suite offers an adjoined living/kitchen space, one bedroom, and a bathroom. A small carport provides additional storage and parking space. The Village has restaurants, a grocery store, a building supply store, a recreational centre, public library, health centre, school, accommodations, a full-service gas station and high-speed internet service. The coastal village of Tahsis is situated at the head of protected Tahsis Inlet, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island near Nootka Sound. (id:63159)

Transit

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.
