About this home

Set on a private 0.59-acre high-bank bluff in Bowser, this custom-built home by Pickard Construction captures breathtaking views across the Salish Sea to Denman Island and Chrome Island Lighthouse. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its coastal setting, principal rooms and both bedrooms open to a full-length deck, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors and ever-changing ocean vistas. Built in 2010, this bright and airy home offers 9-foot ceilings on the main and 8-foot ceilings above, with hand-scraped oak flooring, custom crown mouldings, and elegant finishes throughout. The great room and dining area feature built-in cabinetry with glass doors, while the kitchen impresses with alder cabinetry, granite countertops, JennAir stove, wine fridge, and abundant storage. Two spacious primary-style bedrooms each enjoy walk-in closets, private ensuites with in-floor heating, and direct deck access. The main ensuite is a true retreat with a stunning freestanding Amma oval tub and oversized walk-in shower. Comfort and efficiency are enhanced by a heat pump, propane fireplace, Starline vinyl windows, new central vacuum, and a 4’3” crawl space offering excellent storage and warm floors. Outside, the fenced property is ideal for pets, with a detached powered workshop, and an oversized garage with additional workspace. This is a non-conforming building strata with no fees or common areas but with updated bylaws. With beach access via a right-of-way and endless natural beauty at your doorstep, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the Vancouver Island lifestyle at its finest. Watch the eagles and seals or go boating and fishing from the shore of the Deep Bay Marina just minutes away. All this just 20 minutes into the quaint village of Qualicum Beach or 30 minutes to the Comox Airport! You will enjoy the lifestyle and climate of this West Coast home! (id:65179)
