Begin your day with a peaceful walk beside the pond, enjoy an afternoon at the pool or on the tennis courts at the Rec Facility, and end with a romantic sunset along the shoreline. This isn’t a dream vacation—it’s your fabulous new life at 1266 Saturna Drive in 'Craig Bay Seaside Village,' an upscale neighborhood just five minutes from the shops and services of Parksville.

This bright, spacious, and beautifully updated 2976 sqft 4 Bed/3 Bath Townhome offers the privacy and comfort of a detached residence, distinguishing it from Condominiums or Townhouses. Inside are two open-concept living areas for formal and casual gatherings, three natural gas fireplaces, and versatile flex space that could serve as a fifth Bedroom if needed. Sun tunnels, a skylight, and oversized windows flood the home with natural light, while the fully finished lower level provides generous extra living space or ideal guest accommodations, complemented by a wonderfully private outdoor retreat.

The airy overheight foyer, crowned by a large clerestory window, provides a gracious entry that sets a warm and welcoming tone for residents and guests alike. A striking slate staircase with maple hardwood trim ascends to the bright 1640 sqft upper level, where maple flooring leads into an open-plan Living/Dining Room illuminated by expansive windows that reveal park-like scenery and partial views of the Salish Sea. High ceilings enhance the sense of openness, while a natural gas fireplace provides warmth and ambiance for cooler evenings.

Adjacent is a sizable Kitchen/Family Room where picture windows frame a lovely garden outlook. The skylighted, chef-friendly Kitchen in warm wood tones blends style and function, featuring golden oak flooring, sleek quartz counters, an electric stove with a natural gas cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, and an 'LG' refrigerator. From the Breakfast Nook, sliding glass doors open to a generously sized southwest facing patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living, complete with a retractable awning, fire table with cushion storage, and an ornate fountain added in 2023.

Back inside, a sunlit hallway leads to a tranquil Primary Bedroom Suite with a lighted ceiling fan, garden views, a mirrored walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired 5-piece ensuite with a quartz double vanity, tile flooring, bidet seat, deep soaker tub, and separate shower. Nearby, a comfortable Second Bedroom sits beside a stylish 3-piece Main Bath with a quartz vanity and walk-in shower with dual seating. Completing the upper level is a Laundry Closet with a washer and dryer replaced in 2024, conveniently located near both Bedrooms.

The spacious 1336 sqft lower level extends your living space and offers versatile accommodations for guests or extended family. French doors open to a large Rec Room/Office with a wet bar, bar fridge, built-in shelving, and two designated workstations, kept cozy by one of the home’s three natural gas fireplaces. The space can easily serve as an additional Bedroom if desired.

There’s also a Third Bedroom equipped with a Murphy bed and a generous multi-purpose Games Room (or Fourth Bedroom), ideal for storage or younger family members—bunk beds would fit perfectly. A 4- piece Bath with a new toilet serves both rooms. Completing the lower level is a Mud Room leading to the attached full-size Two-Car Garage, which includes a workbench, freezer, and refrigerator, providing ample space for projects and storage. Convenient access from the Mud Room connects to the Mechanical/Utility Room with a work sink and pantry storage.

The property enjoys exceptional privacy, surrounded by a steep, densely wooded slope that creates a serene and secluded setting, giving the home a stately presence. Its unique location within Craig Bay ensures a peaceful retreat, shielded from neighboring homes and street activity.

Extras and updates include a built-in vacuum system, new furnace (2019, under warranty), fresh interior paint (2021), air conditioner (2022, under warranty), exterior painting (2024), and a new roof with gutters (2025). The gas furnace is synchronized with the air conditioner and controlled by a single panel hybrid system. Wide side-yard setbacks with dual garden access paths make moving furniture or large appliances easy and convenient.

The standout feature is the prime location in Craig Bay. A short stroll brings you to 1700 ft of waterfront with stunning views of the ocean and distant mainland mountains. The nearby Beach Club Rec Facility offers a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, arts and crafts studio, social spaces, and year-round events including yoga, dances, and seasonal celebrations. You’re also just a short drive from the Euro-charming Village Center at Qualicum Beach and the expansive North Nanaimo shopping district.

This is more than just a fabulous new home in a very friendly neighborhood—it’s a fabulous new lifestyle on the sun-soaked mid-eastern coastline of Vancouver Island. Book your viewing today!
