The breathtaking ocean views from every room define this home. During daylight hours Stuart Channel is framed by Thetis and Kuper Islands with Saltspring Island off to the right. On the left you see the Sunshine Coast. At night all three Vancouver ski areas light up the horizon.
The entry to the home is through the lower level which is open through two stories with a generous staircase leading up to the main floor. Upon entering the main floor the visitor is immediately rewarded by the designer kitchen equipped with all the modern features - counter space galore, fabulous lighting, a pantry, interesting drawers, glass fronted cabinets, a natural gas stove (also wired for electric), a garburator, and a trash compactor for recycling. The large island is the natural food preparation area, so when entertaining, the cook is always part of the action.
The floor plan is open with the living room, dining area and kitchen sharing the commanding views from the abundance of windows with solid cherry wood flooring from Brazil throughout. The ceilings are vaulted throughout the kitchen and living room with all three areas enjoying the natural gas fireplace.
The dinning area is large, accommodating a full sized table with extended leafs, and has a patio door leading to the partially covered front deck. The deck has a natural gas outlet for the barbecue enthusiast and the glass railings ensure an unobstructed view.
The master bedroom is massive with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a separate door leading to the front deck. The ensuite has all the trimmings - a large island tub, a vanity with loads of storage, a separate shower and even a separate room for the loo.
The den, on the back side of the main floor, has a two story vaulted ceiling with a patio door leading to the back yard and patio which enjoys the morning sun and lovely ocean views.
The rest of the main floor includes laundry facilities, a main bath and guest bedroom with an ocean view. There is ample storage on the main floor with a linen/towel closet in the main bath, a broom closet, another closet for the built-in vacuum attachments, as well as a linen closet in the master suite.
The lower level has a full guest suite with walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom, and large windows allowing for lots of natural light while taking in the commanding water views. There is a large, partially finished, bonus room behind the garage that could be used for a pool table, media room or sleeping area. And yes, even the bonus room has ocean views. For the hobbyist, the garage is big enough for tools, a work area, tons of storage and parking for two cars. Top this off with an underground sprinkler system that will ensure your lawns and gardens are taken care of even when you are away.
