Description

SPECTACULAR VIEW, GREAT NEIGHBOURHOOD, FULLY UPDATED! Lovingly updated to suit the owners comfortably for many years to come, this fabulous family home is now available. Living and dining rooms as well as the large deck take in unhindered, panoramic views of the Salish Sea from Vananda to Savary Island. The original oak floors have been skillfully and tastefully redone. The kitchen was reconfigured for more space and custom cabinets and flooring installed. Updated baths on each floor compliment two bedrooms up and down. From the comfortable deck off the dining room there is easy access to an attractive patio/garden and the large fenced back yard with green house, shed, and alley access. All doors, windows and roof have been replaced to provide the new owner with the leisure time to enjoy the comforts of this solid family home only a block from the beach. (id:63159)
