a layout that makes the most of its natural surroundings. The main floor opens with a spacious den featuring parquet wood floors and a fireplace, flowing into the living and dining areas where vaulted wood ceilings, expansive windows, and a gas fireplace create an inviting and relaxed space. Sliding glass doors open to an enclosed sunroom, a comfortable spot to take in the outlook and enjoy the changing seasons. The kitchen retains its original charm and offers a practical layout, a cozy eating area, and ocean views. The primary bedroom is also on the main level and includes a 4-piece cheater ensuite. A utility room with laundry, wood stove, and the main hot water tank completes the floor. Upstairs, a second bedroom, full bathroom, and open den/recreation area provide flexibility for guests, a studio, or a quiet retreat. The home also includes solar-assisted hot water backup, with a secondary hot water tank on the upper level; and an air exchange system. Outside, the setting is beautifully established, with mature gardens, a fenced growing area, and a lovely stretch of yard between the home and the shoreline. The double garage includes a separate workshop, wood storage, and a canning/winter produce room. This is a unique waterfront offering in a sought-after Metchosin location, just a short walk to the village centre. (id:62650)
