Description

Tucked at the end of a no thru road on a large and private .51 acre lot with your own old growth forest area that borders Bings Creek, this lovingly restored character home will charm you. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a functional layout of 1,846 Sq. Ft. the home saw a total renovation completed in 2026, including new heat pump, new hot water tank, updated appliances, new vinyl flooring and beautifully refinished original fir floors. The property is easy care and partially fenced with excellent exposure for gardening/growing your own food, is dotted with fruit trees and mature plants and the treed area creates a natural buffer from surrounding homes. The R3 zoning allows for potential development to a duplex (buyer to verify with District of North Cowichan). Located in a quiet friendly neighbourhood, minutes to amenities, trails, parks and schools, but with the security of not being in a high traffic area, this lovely home is perfect for retirees, busy couples and young families alike. Motivated seller would consider partial trade for a small apartment. (id:63159)

4/9 categories nearby

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.
