Nestled on a quiet no-through road you'll find this sunny and bright 2165 sqft 3 Bed/2 Bath Rancher on a beautifully landscaped .49-acre lot with a variety of trees and shrubs including fruit trees. Recently updated inside and out, this charming home features two new Bathrooms, sun tunnels, a skylight and ample glass for natural light, a huge crawl offering endless storage, serviced RV parking, and a detached Double Garage/Workshop. Ideally located just a short stroll from a large trail system and the beach, and only minutes from Bowser and Qualicum Beach for shopping and amenities.

A pebbled pathway leads past natural plantings, a new river rock ‘dry stream’ bed, and a charming pond, leading to an overheight covered porch and a solid fir front door with sidelights. Step inside to a bright, open-plan Living/Dining Room with large windows, a 9 ft ceiling with pot lighting, stylish crown molding, an electric fireplace with a polished concrete facade and a live edge mantle, and the same new soft white linen textured blinds you'll find throughout the home.

The skylighted Kitchen offers ample countertop space, maple cabinetry with glass-front display cupboards, a custom tiled backsplash, and a garden window above a composite double-bowl sink with hot water on-demand. Additional features include a large walk-in pantry, updated hardware, and new stainless steel appliances, creating a functional yet stylish workspace.

A glass door (with a phantom screen) opens to a spacious patio covered by translucent panels for year-round enjoyment. Equipped with a propane BBQ outlet, it overlooks a beautifully landscaped backyard with a variety of trees and shrubs. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with a cool beverage on warm island afternoons or host quiet morning brunches, post-work happy hours, and memorable alfresco dinners!

Back inside, a wide hallway with wainscoting and sun tunnels leads to a spacious Primary Suite featuring double and single closets, a cozy desk nook, and a re-plumbed 4 pc ensuite with a linen closet, a high-end walnut wall-hung vanity with double sinks, and beautiful tiled flooring. There's also a versatile Bedroom/Den/Office with a large south-facing window, and a Guest Bedroom offering cheater access to the 3 pc Main Bath with a walk-in shower, also re-plumbed and updated with another high end walnut wall hung vanity.

Completing the layout is a spacious Laundry/Mudroom with a sun tunnel, ample cupboards, a sink, and an exterior door leading to a walkway that separates the home from a detached 724 sqft heated Double Garage. An exterior access door and stairway leads down to an impressive walk-in 6 ft heated crawl space with concrete flooring and 2165 sqft of storage space.

The sunny, fully-fenced backyard features beautiful pin oak and dogwood trees, a fabulous veggie garden area, fruit bushes and trees, including raspberries, a plum tree, and two apple trees, plus a newly-added Leyland Cypress hedge. There's also a 125 sqft Detached Garden Shed that could serve as a cozy Art Studio.

Extra features include a security system, serviced RV parking with water, sewer and 30-amp electricity, a 7-zone sprinkler system, durable Hardie-board siding, an exterior hot water outlet for washing cars, and a leased propane tank for hot water on-demand, the BBQ hookup, and a generator.

The energy-efficient heat pump with electric backup furnace keeps hydro costs low, while updates include new 'Sherwin-Williams' 25-year interior and exterior paint, all-new light fixtures, and large 2x2 paving stone walkways. The septic system was pumped, when a new pump was installed in 2021.

The prime location puts you just blocks from Wildwood Community Park and the northern loop of the Lighthouse Country Regional Trail, offering walks through a rare protected Coastal Douglas-fir ecosystem. A short stroll takes you to beach access at the end of Bowser Rd, while Magnolia Court Mall and Tomms Food Village are nearby for quick errands. Enjoy a short drive to Rosewall Creek Provincial Park and the Buckley Bay Ferry to Denman and Hornby Islands, with Courtenay/Comox, North Nanaimo, and several beautiful lakes all within a 40-minute drive!

Comfort, convenience, and carefree island living are calling...don’t let this exceptional country retreat slip away!
