This beautifully positioned 0.88-acre west-facing high-bank waterfront property offers panoramic ocean views, vibrant sunsets, and distant glimpses of the city and Vancouver Island’s coastline. Spend your days on the ocean-facing decks, listening for passing whales and watching eagles soar overhead. The 2-bedroom wood-sided home features a durable metal roof and blends effortlessly into the natural west coast surroundings. Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an airy, light palette create a relaxed bohemian feel. The open layout connects the kitchen—complete with a propane cookstove and ocean-view sink—to the dining and living areas, making the most of the stunning views. The primary bedroom enjoys ocean views, a brick feature wall, and a skylit bathroom with a clawfoot tub perfect for stargazing. The second bedroom includes custom fir cabinets and a loft for extra storage. Comfort features include two heat pumps, an automatic generator, UV light/filter system, custom blinds, a carport, and a septic alarm. A detached 12x8 studio adds flexible space. Just a short stroll to beach access, this is your private island retreat. Virtual Tour, Video & Floor Plan are available. All information to be verified by a buyer if deemed important.
