Perched in a prominent position on prestigious Stephenson Point you'll find this rare .39 acre south-facing oceanfront property hosting an impressive Custom Executive Home. Walls of oversized picture windows frame sweeping panoramas from Departure Bay to the Gulf Islands and across the Salish Sea to the coastal mountains. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the extraordinary beauty of Jesse Island and you become entranced by life on the harbour.

Located at the end of a quiet residential enclave, this 4261 sqft level entry home offers 5 Bedrooms and 5 Bathrooms over two levels including a fully- contained Legal Suite. Throughout the home are fine finishings, wood flooring, spacious rooms with high ceilings and picture windows allowing natural light to flood in while capturing spectacular views from every perspective.

The exterior offers extensive ocean-facing covered decks on both levels allowing for year-round outdoor living. Relax and read, entertain, and at your leisure stroll down to the water’s edge and go for a swim or kayak from your own private cove. A protected Garry Oak meadow adjacent to the property adds to the tranquility of this private park-like setting.

Upon arrival, a grand covered entry leads through stained-glass double doors into the spacious 2977 sqft main level of the home. The foyer is open to a Formal Reception Room that could also serve as a Formal Living or Dining Room. Lit by soaring double skylights, this warm greeting area is adorned with lighted art niches, a cascading wall fountain, and arched Tuscan Pillars that add a note of classical architectural style. Throughout the home you'll find transom windows above the doors and wide crown molding that brings the beauty of the past to the present.

Rich wood flooring flows into the adjacent Great Room/Kitchen where the eye is drawn to the world- class view that is one of the best outlooks you will find on Vancouver Island. A magnificent limestone hearth featuring a natural gas fireplace acts as a visual anchor for the Great Room, and the open concept allows you to entertain in style while everyone relaxes and enjoys the captivating scenery.

Custom wood cabinetry adds a note of grandeur and elegance to the well-appointed Gourmet Kitchen featuring professional-grade stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, plenty of drawers and cupboards, a Pantry, and a large island sporting a “Wolf” natural gas cooktop and retractable exhaust fan. Light floods in from a towering skylight and an oversized picture window overlooks the sheltered passage to Jesse Island.

From the Nook with its dual oversized picture windows, French doors open to the covered area of a huge south-facing deck that surrounds the ocean side of the house. One direction offers far- reaching views across the Salish Sea, while the other direction leads to an al fresco Dining area with sunset views through the treetops.

The deck is also accessible by French double doors from the sizable Primary Bedroom Suite, which features a natural gas fireplace and a walk-thru with dual walk-in closets leading to a custom 4 pc skylighted Spa Ensuite with a granite top vanity, a makeup table, heated travertine tile flooring, jetted soaker tub and a large custom walk-in glass shower. Leave the deck doors or windows open at night and be lulled to sleep by the sound of waves lapping on the shoreline while moonlight shimmers across the ocean.

Adjacent to the Primary Suite is a spacious 3 pc Custom Main Bath boasting a soapstone sink, a granite vanity, a glass shower, and finished to the same high quality as the ensuite bath. From the foyer, French double doors open to a lovely Bedroom/Den with a closet and the same classic style as the rest of the home. Use this as your private study, office or reading room enjoying quiet views of the terraced garden.

At the opposite side of the home is a comfortable private bedroom retreat complete with a beautifully-appointed 3 pc ensuite including granite vanity and glass shower, and generous storage. A conveniently-located Laundry Room includes a deep sink, granite countertop, and ample cupboard space. Completing the main level is a huge 656 sqft Double Car Garage with two Storage Rooms.

Access to the lower level is via exterior staircases located on either side of the home. An attractive cedar deck blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings and provides easy access to the waterfront. On the lower level of the home, the self-contained 1284 sqft 2-Bedroom Legal Suite commands the same unique views as the level above. The Suite offers endless possibilities for multi- generational living, accommodations to pamper your out-of-town guests, or a place for a live-in caretaker or nanny.

The open concept layout includes good-sized Living and Dining Areas, a full Kitchen with island, shaker wood cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. Off the main living area of the Suite is a large and light-filled Studio/Bedroom/Office. The other direction hosts a 2 pc Powder Room with a glass vessel sink, a convenient Laundry, and a Bedroom Suite with walk- in closet and 4 pc ensuite with shower and soaker tub. This level has an extensive 650 sqft covered deck offering ample space for oceanfront outdoor living.

Located behind the Legal Suite and accessible by separate entry is an 1108 sqft Flex Room that is 1/3 Workshop area and 2/3 Gym/Recreation area but could easily be adapted to other uses. The area is partially-finished with insulation, drywall and lighting, and it could be used for indoor hockey, table tennis, or a pool room. An insulated 608 sqft Crawl Space adds ample storage space and is accessible from the Flex Room.

Extra features of the home include a Heat Pump plus an HRV system, a security system, built-in speaker system on the main level, central vacuum system, separate electrical panel for the Suite, and separate hot water tanks for each level.
