| Exquisite Craig Bay 'Winchelsea' Stand-Alone Home!
Enjoy a fabulous life of luxury and leisure in this bright, spacious, and beautifully customized 1764 sqft 2 Bed/2 Bath ‘Winchelsea’ model, ideally located in Oceanside’s premier seaside village of Craig Bay—an upscale community of fine executive homes. With its unique Den/Sitting Room off the Primary Suite, this stylish home features a popular rancher-style layout, large windows and skylights for abundant natural light, elegant touches such as crown molding and arched doorways, superb guest accommodations, sun-soaked outdoor living spaces, and green space behind and beside the home that ensures privacy. You’re just steps from a pond and within a short stroll of the shoreline of the Strait of Georgia and a Rec Center with pool and tennis courts, with downtown Parksville only five minutes away for shopping and amenities. An inviting sitting porch offers shade on warm island afternoons, while a front door with transom opens to a slate foyer. Hardwood flooring leads down the entry hall into a gracious open- concept Living/Dining Room with an airy 11-foot ceiling and west- and south-facing picture windows with clerestories that fill the space with soft natural light. A natural gas fireplace creates a warm focal point, while a ceiling fan ensures year- round comfort. Adjacent is a warm and welcoming skylighted Kitchen with a functional layout, stainless steel appliances (fridge replaced in 2024), and generous granite counter space. Warm, ample cabinetry with undermount lighting and crown molding is complemented by a buffet counter with display cabinets—perfect for both everyday use and stylish presentation. A bright nook and breakfast bar provide casual dining options, or step outside to the expansive exposed aggregate patio for outdoor dining. Offering a roll-down awning and framed by a lattice-paneled privacy screen & hedging, this inviting space overlooks a vast green space with a charming pond in one direction and a picturesque footbridge in the other. With sun-sational southern and western exposure, it’s ideal for quiet morning coffees, relaxing afternoons, and golden-hour gatherings with family and friends. The spacious Primary Bedroom Suite offers the feel of an upscale hotel retreat. A fabulous Salon Parlor with the two-sided natural gas fireplace (shared with the Living Room) and French doors to the patio creates a private, refined space—perfect for relaxing “me-time,” quiet conversation, or a personal lounge. The suite also features a generous walk-in closet with mirrored vanity door and a 4-piece skylit ensuite with a glass shower and separate soaker tub. Nearby is a Laundry Room with cabinetry, a sink, and access to the attached Double Garage, while tucked away in a private enclave off the foyer is a spacious Second Bedroom with east facing clerestory windows, paired with a 3-piece Main Bath featuring a large shower—an ideal “bed and bath” guest suite with both hardwood and slate flooring offers a convenient come-and-go access to the front door. Ideally located in Craig Bay, residents enjoy exceptional 5-star amenities including walking paths with ponds and footbridges, a swimming pool and tennis courts, and the Beach Club Recreation Facility with a hot tub, billiards table, party rooms, library, and gym. A short stroll leads to 1,700 feet of waterfront with postcard views of the Strait of Georgia and mainland mountains, as well as nearby trails in Rathtrevor Provincial Park. Just minutes away are world-class golf courses, marinas, parks, the charming Village Center of Qualicum Beach, and the extensive shopping and services of North Nanaimo. A beautiful contemporary home, a vibrant waterfront community, and outstanding resort-style amenities—the next amazing chapter of your life begins here. Vacant and easy to view, with quick possession possible.
