Description

Rare walk-on waterfront opportunity offering 60 ft of frontage on a beautiful east-facing shoreline. Set on a gently sloping 0.34-acre lot, this property enjoys stunning views of Baynes Sound looking out to Sandy Island and the Coastal Mountains. With direct beach access, and a beach front deck to take in the most amazing sunrises, you can launch your kayak, swim, or explore the shoreline and take full advantage of the waterfront lifestyle. Built in 1989, this two-level walkout home offers approximately 2700 sqft with a functional layout featuring three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main level includes hardwood floors, a large partially covered deck, and plenty of windows to take in the ocean views. Much of the home retains its original character and components, presenting a terrific opportunity for someone to update and make it their own. Complete with a double garage, this is a special waterfront property and offers exceptional potential. For more information, please contact Christiaan Horsfall at 250-702-7150. (id:63159)
